Endings
Finalities
Goodbyes and Farewells ~
the winter strives for fruition
in its barrenness and frigidity.
Two lovers leave their warm spot
and cleave to a fainting memory
of summer days gone by.
They remember when the sun rose bright
over the horizon
sprinkling passion with each ray.
To those on the outside looking in,
they are at their ending time,
final days are at hand,
ready to bid goodbye and farewell
to bitter earthen vessels.
Little do those outsiders know
the depth
and the height
and the breath
of the life remaining constant.
Full of love
overflowing with passion,
bursting with flowers of memories to come,
the two lovers greet the first Spring morning
with praise, gratitude, and reverence
still together forever.
