BEYOND FAREWELL

Bound to reach a close, everything goes as thus Your farewell etched like a scar Whispers in the dark, so it flows Echoes in my mind as I still drift afar Contemplating lies, contending excuses Darkness looms as the harbinger gazes upon Who refuses to take refuge from impending danger One man's hero, the grief of another Tormented by your graceful smile My memories play a frightening illusion No tears left to run its mile Endless void only to be filled by your absence Contending excuses, contemplating lies once more Blinking back tears as I bask in your embrace Your sweet words like music to thy ears Shrouded by darkness no more, surrounded by your reassuring light Your letters revealed thus to me One man's hero, the loving mother of another Warmth of resonance filling me Dabbing gently my sobs goodbye The pride of having you takes place Your farewell, I see a new horizon A calm push to transform to a new me As a step into a new chapter of life One that will forever be proud of your legacy
