Farewell

The moment comes for sad farewell;
A brief song sums goodbye that tells;
Feelings go numb with parting spell.


So much of art in lines that speak;
Words from the heart with ebbs and peaks;
Space and time part in groans and tweaks.


Days in the sun where time unfolds;
Nights on the run in dreams untold;
Jest and wit pun in hot and cold.


Words tell a tale of fond fine verse;
Hope sparks a sale in faith once terse;
Love now avails what kind peace serves.


This journey here is but a flash;
A certain cheer marks a bright dash;
Pulse now must steer a lovely bash.


Verse weaves a glow in simple zest;
We come and go much like the rest;
A sanguine flow in gainful quest.


Here at the gate the weary pass;
Each to a fate in looking glass;
Set on a date in sacred trust.


Our ample daze is but a test;
Our problem craze brings out the best;
Our hidden maze forks out the rest.


Go now in peace as journey trends;
Go bring new ease to dare attend;
Go find increase in moments grand.


Farewell my friends from way back when;
Farewell to spends of now and then;
Farewell to blends of wordplay stand.


Here words can niche a sacred shore;
Find moments rich to word some more;
Write to dare reach with verse galore.


Press on and write to dare now share;
Ply witty cite to show you care;
Prime each new bite with more to spare.


Thank you so much for this sure stage;
Poise frees as such a poetry page;
Voice must indulge soul from life's cage.


The moment starts and ends too soon;
Watch cryptic art word pain's high noon;
Now mind and heart hurl a fond boon.
