A Time to Say Good-Bye

[Jude Forese]

There are thoughts and then there are thoughts

 

There are worlds to create and episodes to reestablish

 

There are moments when realized 

Relinquish all deception to the powers of truth

 

Truth touched by a beam

Flickering like a distant lighthouse

Leading the way to tomorrow

 

There are dreams to invent

And stars to embrace

 

Fires to feed

And wonders to manage

 

There is hope and anticipation

Filling the soul

With awe and mystery

 

With the will to endure

 

There is a window

One can peer out from

To see the world for what it really stands for

 

And a golden ladder

To climb upon

When the lead of life is much too heavy

And the activity surrounding you

Much too trite

 

There is a place so few will wander

And so many resist knowing

 

And yes, there is a time to leave

And say good-bye

[Sara Louise Russell]

I like this poem very much, it has a visionary style and a wistful thread of sadness running through it, yet without bitterness. Thanks for sharing :)

A delightful and soul-inspiring piece; loved the message and its flow; lines that shone brightly for me were:

 

"

There are dreams to invent

And stars to embrace

 

Fires to feed

And wonders to manage

 

There is hope and anticipation

Filling the soul

With awe and mystery

 

With the will to endure"

 

Wonderfully written; enjoy the new year and its coming blessings!

Two favorite lines from a much-appreciated poem: 

"There are dreams to invent

And stars to embrace..."

Much gratitude for the sharing.
