Hello, I think this is where this should go but I could be wrong.

I'm looking for a short Japanese poem about a journey, not a
certain poem, just a poem in general.
I'm planning to carve something out of wood and would like to
use such a poem on it, I would appreciate any help.
Thank you. 窶堋?窶堙ィ窶堋ェ窶堙??堋、ツ。
