The gentleman is waiting for a train in the station
To a journey to the southern most part of the world
When I asked to where he proposed to travel
He shown me his medical records and doctor's opinion
I understood his purpose of journey and destination
But I cannot disclose for better of reasons
It may be a journey where return tickets are not issued
Only a ticket to the destination for departure in time
I wondered without a return ticket how can he come back
He smiled a little but I saw it a pessimistic smile
No one is dared to ask a return ticket he answered.
Lovely poem, good use of narrative skills that serve as to draw in the reader. The poem is open-ended and leaves me burning with questions, so thumbs up for that. Please message me and tell me the reasons behind the return ticket phenomenon in the poem.

I would like to translate this poem
Life is a journey to death and it needs no ticket as none born on the earth can skip that journey.
