A soaring and high-flying martin,
Was gliding before his departing,
But before his migration
There was some conflagration,
'Cause the bird right in front kept on fartin'!...

Candles
snuffed out,players
departing one by one-
the symphony becomes a
solo

Inspired by Haydn's Farewell Symphony(he wrote it as he felt the orchestra had been too 
long on the road!)...

Our life here on earth:
to what shall we compare it?
Perhaps to a rowboat
departing at daybreak,
leaving no trace of us in its wake?

RETURN
Departing from oneself, rivers escape mountains at SOURCE
The meandering is not only to Sea; meandering home, roots, too ...
By way of the Universal Ocean. Waters blend salty and fresh!...

Hands of Giants

Morning window, orange sunrise.
Ice crystals of frost slightly obscuring

winnter black trunks, tumultuous limbs;
hands of giants waving good morning 

for last night's departing gale!...

COMING 
hello, handshakes  
preparing, arriving, greeting 
luggage carousel, smiles, kisses, departure gate 
repacking, confirming, departing 
hugs, farewells 
GOING

DEEP SHADOWS OF AUTUMN


The departing sun low in the sky sees
Trees weeping into a carpet of russet shades
And hears birds’ silent chorus of mourning
In the deep shadows of autumn
As they gather strength for the cold ahead...

A short-sighted barber named Dave
Bid folks to 'Sit down and be brave!'
With ears and neck snipped,
Departing they quipped:
Whew! That was a very close shave!'

The time past eve
when darkness grows,
and stars arrive 
in velvet carriage,
'tis a time of lending
dreams to romance,
as gentle kisses prosper,
lifting hope
for lives entwined;
and hearts remember
way beyond
their departing....

I enjoyed onions for my tea*
With my tum onions don’t agree
Foul wind is departing
I cannot stop farting
alas allium’s make me windy!

I had made beef stroganoff which contained onions and garlic!

you disappear

like the sun

pulling the night

softly behind

you like a curtain

departing

 

and if the sun

does not rise

in the morning

I will wait there

in the darkness

waiting for you

to returrn

 

forever...
