Good-bye Is a Gateway...

 PAD Challenge day 30:For today's prompt, write a goodbye poem.

Adios Amigo

Is It Really Over 

We pave the path to aftermath with joy and sorrow’s tears

How fleeting is the filigree that weaves whispers to years

Where hello always turns to farewell far too soon it seems

And we are always learning how to readjust our dreams

I love the way life dishes out surprise; I hate it too

The color of goodbye flows in a thousand shades of blue

Where nothing new under the sun still stuns us all the same

And time will always be a rebel that no one can tame

Darling, let’s take the long, slow way to farewell’s parting kiss

I know we both knew from the start that it would end like this

But we are poets; life runs wild with opportunity

Thus good-bye is a gateway to tomorrow’s odyssey
