In a Sigh

I said goodbye, with a soft sigh. No words could explain this moment, Shadows of doubt, shaded by death Impressing the notes of a song, breathless and wild Restoring my faith, yet it wouldn’t see the grace, Beneath the autumn romance, that second chance When the wind drifted across the hills, Pressing in on my soul – accusing, coloring my life So bold, vibrant hues of darkest blues Sapphire suns and indigo tunes, blowing across my spirit Singing – it will become the moment, the past When the final breath will shout its news, It is in the blues, silent and wild – singing like a smile, On the wind, on the truth, on the measures of soothing There is the moment, past yesterday’s cobalt secrets When the penetrating rhythms of life’s song sings, An aching lonely composed by the soul Who feels the end beckoning, the wind listening For the final notes of our last hope, When the closing of a life whispers goodbye with a sigh.
