When We Must Say Goodbye

There will always be a moment in our lives, When we must say goodbye When the breath will cease The light to go out in our eyes. For who to see this moment through When togetherness becomes empty Where the love of two declines The life of us removes to be. Into the open space of time One soul gives chase Racing off the cosmic breeze To seek another lonely place. Then into the darkness fall From tears, shall we attempt to rise To place a memory in our hearts Beneath a star lit brilliant sky. Three stars bright with two stars dim Six stars placed within the night One star smiles with a wink Then gives up all existing light. Now we sit in this moment of life When dreams become the teardrop eye We stand to face in sorrowed strength When we must say goodbye. By: DARREN J McMURRAY September 7, 2008
