How does one say goodbye
When the sun settles, like a weight, on the horizon
And the mind stirs the past
Caressing the senses with memories that were
And never will be again.
When reluctant partings take their toll
And the body longs for slumber
As the mind strains, again, to save the moment
And make it last, forever more.
how does one say goodbye
When words flutter, like wings, in the emptiness
And the spirit fails to take flight
Between the comforting distances of separateness
And the chasms of interpretation
When they still are but are no more
And their image lingers, still
Forcing thoughts, back, to where regret began
And the tongue was stayed, silent.
how does one say goodbye
When gestures linger, like hope, in the heart
And every tender touch
Sends tears to cleans their inevitable absence
And abate the sorrow
When faith finds an end in the world
And all that remains, out there,
Is sound shaped into final partings.
And all that's left to ask is:
How does one say goodbye?

Are you going someplace satyr? I enjoyed your post.
I'm not a critic, of course; but I like it. Very readable. I've found your earlier posts esoteric to the point where I would find my eyes skipping between paragraphs. I know I missed a lot. Now I can see that you are about much more than pizza.
Pizza and souvlaki, perhaps.
Best way to say goodbye is with a restraining order
Stumble It!
