Notes About The Poem

- The Last Goodbye -

I release the memories
Closes the door for the last time
I will always remember what we shared
A skinless sorrow fills my heart

A life with white horses and sunshine is over
Everything is done for the very last time
a reminder of emptiness
Words that were never said are spun with sadness

In silence and reconciliation,
builds a bridge over the abyss
A stone is thrown into quiet water
and the rings cease
never  ...
