A Gentle Goodbye

Reaching into this moment to see what is there
A satisfied belly, sweet chill in the air

The comfort of kindness
And space to be real
A quiet oasis
Permission to feel.

Not sure how this happened
How this split came to be
My spirit was dampened
And now it is free

Reaching into this moment to see what is there
Resilience and purpose, and hope in the air

More room for beginnings
For roots to take hold
In this ground of my making
Where friendship is gold.

Farewell, fellow traveler
Take care as you go
To places beyond me
Where your mission’s aglow

Reaching into this moment to see what is there
A heart that is open with plenty to share.
