390 and Say Goodbye

I have forgotten the willow weeping in the field How it brushed closely to the Earth As the sunshine would glimmer through Highlighting the wild flowers in bloom Home to the sparrow and once a year The turtle dove would tour through its branches. ~ I remember the golden sunset It would paint the sky with purple, reds and oranges Majestic upon the encroaching night In breathless awe I would watch As the clouds explode like rainbows And the calm of the moment breeched serenity. ~ I can picture two hands The gentle embrace of two lovers Walking the sandy shores near the ocean And the sun would caress the waves With shimmering dance As the winds would part, circling Embracing the beauty of love. ~ And I can remember tears Suffering, how it can encompass us Burdening even the most willful soul Stripping away beauty and desire Leaving only the tear stained pillow And the decision to say goodbye. ~ it is to not, the passing Every day the blind eye escapes to see The beauty within the life The nature within the beauty And when death takes trespass upon us We take back the glimpses forgotten And say goodbye. ~ By: Darren J McMurray March 22, 2012
