DM Babbit Poet Ballade

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.
