Goodbye Summer (a poem)
I’ve never been one for long goodbyes,
feigning sentiment that’s full of lies.
Our paths separate as we reason why,
time divides and friendships die.
I’ve never been one for long goodbyes,
feigning sentiment that’s full of lies.
Our paths separate as we reason why,
time divides and friendships die.
When God asks you a question
it definitely gets your attention.
When He asks, “Do you trust me?”
it takes it to a whole new level.
Tonight, my spouse and I watched
another episode of Early Edition,
season two, entitled
“Angels and Devils”.
Each moment,
although a mere fraction of time,
contains a lifetime lived.
Many seem content to walk
when they are made to fly
And though I walked among them
my dreams were in the sky
Long after the war has ended,
it rages in our hearts.
Continually choosing sides,
is driving us apart.
Finding some small difference,
separates the two.
In the war of us and them,
it’s time for us to choose.
We all have weakness, strengths and abilities.
How we handle them can make all the difference.
When I was young I would read my daily horoscope
to see what was NOT going to happen to me that day.

I started looking deep inside.
Finding ways to let down my guard
and be true to who I am
instead of running and hiding from myself.
