you said goodbye
i thought i would curl up
and die
like a withered leaf
hanging on till
a gust blew it
far from sight
i see daylight
in the distance
it is always a breath of hope
that i can cope
without you at my side
for within
endurance lives
that i never lean on before
it was stored
for this purpose
perseverance
is my new resolve
a foundation
which i can build upon
with every day
the fog lifts a little more
carrying confusion away
as the sun’s rays
enlighten and
clarify
me
and who i really be
the leaf blew far from sight
on that winter’s night
when the embers grew grey
now i easily say
goodbye
