A FAREWELL For a moment, Our endless words must find pause... When the great tides of life shift.
I wish there were words I could say That could hold back such endless truths…
As the very ground beneath your feet slips away You are left but for a moment suspended in the air, Caught between terror and elation The craggy canyons far beneath The eternal stars far above Both carved from the very same foundational core.
It is this cross flux of fear and hope That can freeze the imagination To forget how free it is To reinvent the scene That it had made not more than a moment before.
Both my hope and fear is this… There are no answers to Life and Death Death and Life.
Though you must remember It was the very real tear You shed for love That caught my heart And bound me tight.
And it is I who forgot to mention... Though I have no answer, There is always that silly hope That never dies, that lives to reach for Love Time and time again.
You told me this yourself. And I forgot to forget That it’s nothing more than a dream. And in this forgettery of forgetfullness The yarn is spun, That all is possible Every bit and piece, Even dreams of little girls and boys Of souls that come to play with them In the gentle dreamy-filled night, In the light-filled reality of a later day.
You and I live both here and there... With our Mothers and Fathers, Sons and Daughters Sisters and Brothers. You are all these things to me… As I to you.
And finally... Let us not forget the unforgettable. It is the Eternity of Mother-Fatherhood that has made All of this… You and me… Me and you… All so possible.
