The Exodus

Oh this hour is ill
rends those it should reunite
together as one,
yet my wings from you in flight
time it is to say goodbye.

When I read this again, Yoda came to mind. It must be the wisdom that permeates the piece. Have a great day Harry.

The human spirit has solemn wings. Alone in flight is how it sings. If one day comes back round. Together we'll hear a lovely sound. Peace. :)

hello Harry, it is hard to say goodbye... sometimes exodus happen in such a way we don't even get to say and leave with the proper goodbyes .... and if it's a goodbye you are saying... it is going to be hard... adding more hurt to myself is not good... and like my sis on the bottom.. I love it when you stop by always... sorry I haven't been on as much as i was. I do try to keep up. It helps to keep my mind off of things. I hope to hear from you soon. I know you will not leave without a hug. PD

This don't sound too good to me. If you are living - you didn't ask for permission. You are not allowed to go. Lucilla

This resonated with me Specifically "this hour is ill". I see this as one who is passing on. It reminded me of the recent loss of my mother. Eloquent words

Staggering is the thought dear poet, of one that is ripped from us, and too...one who says goodby. This time of year, I'm reminded of Jesus Christ. This is truly a thought provoking write my friend ! Awesome ! Have a wonderful week my friend...much love, james
