THE LAST GOODBYE

 

THE LAST GOODBYE

Captured at sunset the last light, home

The lilies of noonday

The dark of unknown

Salvaged forever

The last luggage packed

The light luggage Back

What shall I bring to thee

Robin’s egg blue

Moss by the white stones

Droplets of dew

Sweet was the sojourn

Hard was the way

Oft have I wished I could

Just simply stay.

But evening comes always

To each in his turn

For every twigged starlight

I cannot help yearn.

Lord help me to leave

What so long was my home

Farewell to the earth

Where so often I roamed

And wondered and wondered

And looked at the stars

And knew you were somewhere

And now, here You Are.
