Goodbye

This summer's winding leaves a pierce behind
Charred traces of her smouldering days,
A riddling puzzle blurs clouds in her mind
When fragile heart cracks glassy tears, assailed

Somehow, this thud of fall pretends to hold
A promise, tinged with sharp crushing of bones
Where forward bites and  snaps the bitter cold,
That reels in hidden betrayals  unknown 

For with this most damn season's turn , alas
Trickery of  love disowned  in a rush,
When dusted time  counters all autumns past
She flickers higher like emblazoned brush

And every triumph over cycles’ spin
Trades wheels of goodbye for fresh beginnings.



Goodbye Contest of Nayda Ivette Negron

The scent of a dying season, the echoes of lost dreams and then a fresh beginning. It seems to resonate in my mind Nette, the repetition of our relationships but each with is own story. So nice to read your thoughtful words. Love, Lizzie

WOW! Nette what a write! I especially was moved by line 12. Hope you are well. I'm reading tonight, mostly, and finally visiting dear friends, such as you. Hope you're well. I heard that your homeland was hit by another bad storm, but I knew you were far away from the fray-- still sad to hear of once again your country being walloped by the weather and the loss of life. If you are still in touch with Nikko, do you know how she's faring? Hugs to you, Cyndi
