Goodbyes Seem Forever

frigid 
are these thoughts 
falling down
this morning

like tires
on ice
slipping 
are the years 
in final goodbyes 

one last kiss 
pressed 
like a rose
in a book
my lips 
will press
against death
and hope 
memories 
will remain
intact 
forever

Good byes are so awful, but you have made it doable.

Thank you Caren...i think you get numb to them after attending 12 in one year...we had a little break before this one... hugs

Goodbyes can feel that way.. I'm so sorry you have had to say another. Hugs.

Thank you... the family is constantly growing smaller and smaller and all those leaving take with them the wealth of knowledge of our history...sadly ... hugs

Such a sad piece to start the day but written in the beauty all of have come to find when reading your wonderful poetry. Final goodbyes are sad indeed but there are also new hellos to fill some of the void found in the loss. Those memories will last forever and so will some of the new ones. Your heart shines as it weeps in this heart touching poem my friend.

Thank you so much Chris... some goodbyes are harder than others...i learned to dislike them at a young age...one more for now, sadly... thank you for your kind words... hugs
