My Goodbye
This is it
the last trumpeting and drumbeat
once loud, boisterous,
beating anticipation at the open gate,
greetings to the world, brilliant, powerful, stately,
intense, a spiritual singularity victorious
accompanied by the drum rolls
a life well-loved and lived'
a thundering barrage, resonating roar
time exhausted, expired
deliberate and steady beats,
last pulsations in the universe,
the stars and moon dancing
to a fading out,
the dream over, complete,
played by the orchestral;
the symphony in one last tango
a quavered upbeat echoing
spinning, whirling, twirling with memories
content, satisfied, without the need of control,
images and visions lost in time
from past to the ever-present now
simple harmonic call without words,
without breath looking back with no regrets;
my final goodbye.
