Goodbye Gail
(Dedication: For Gail Angel Doyle,
who is leaving the PoetrySoup community.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you go away,
Let your heart be light;
Go beyond this day,
Live well your new sights.
Purge all sad dismay,
Let joy fund new flights;
I read your wordplay,
Glimpsed plain soulful writes.
Follow then your heart:
Listen well and heed;
Each ending now starts
Journey that you need.
Purge all bitter gall
As you now align
Your sure, swift footfalls
With an open mind.
Your true heart must tell
You like your best friend:
This sure guide in-dwells
To show yet fine trends.
Then, from time to time
Visit this our place:
Write then a verse rhyme
If your muse must trace!
God bless your sure trip
From now here to there;
Observe rapture grip
Your new joys somewhere.
Each day we loiter
In quick surge of writes;
Each poet's pen triggers
An impulse that cites...
