The Goodbye Song
There simply was not enough of Me
to accommodate
there not being enough of You
and though I wish a choice could have been made
upon which We both were found favored
I found it not to be within My power
to make such decision
for Us both.
If it were Mine alone to attend
We would not have arrived here
at the end of Our long walk
to behold this fork in the road
with We, knowing
each shall now choose a differing Path ahead.
Though did We not place steps upon differing course
long ‘ere We arrived at this juncture
when Each sought to follow their unique calling
deep within Themselves?
In these last moments of a shared Life
within Our now dissolving Union
let Us hold no regrets
envisioning the Other with the greatest of Fondness
a sincere Blessing to be carried close to Soul
as We bid Our Adieu.
Though over hill we travel on alone
and through many valleys
of separate course we shall meander
We yet may emerge
miles and worlds forth from now
at another convergence of Paths.
And I would have us do so
with gladness in our Hearts
that we might embrace the Other
heartily and with enthusiasm
for a reunified Journey
leading ever onward
Home.
