Everyone wants to
go out with a
bang,
or in a
blaze of glory…
but that has
such a
sad finality
to it.
Yes,
it is
brilliant,
and will
forever
be remembered,
but it’s an
ending.
It leaves
nothing
for continuing.
While that
appeals partly
to me,
a larger part doesn’t
believe
in final goodbyes.
There is
no such thing
as goodbye
because
everything has
a continuation.
Things change,
but they
don’t end.
I prefer to say,
“Fare well
until we meet
again,
my friend,
because we
will
meet again.”
Whenever we
humans
connect
to another,
even if just
briefly,
we touch each other.
We remember
familiar faces,
and we converse with them
on occasion.
We see them
over and over
in our
daily lives,
and they become
known…
and we’d
know
if they were
gone.
Even just a
small
connection
we’d miss…
but we don’t
have to.
Connections,
bonds,
last a
lifetime,
if not longer.
So,
instead of saying
goodbye,
leave it an
open-ended
farewell
with the promise,
and knowledge,
that you
will
meet again
someday…
maybe tomorrow,
maybe years from
now
in another
dimension,
but you
will
meet again.
Since this is the last day of NaPoWriMo, thoughts of goodbyes were in my head.  So, this poem was born.  I think it rather fitting.  It isn't goodbye, because this isn't the end.  So, slight sadness that it's over, but an anticipation for next year.  I always enjoy NaPoWriMo, you'll see me again ;)  I had fun, got lots of ideas...and this is the first NaPoWriMo where I actually wrote a poem every day!  So pleased by that :D  I hope you enjoy this poem, and that you continue to enjoy poetry ^_^

For, of course, :iconnapowrimo:, Day 30, 4/30/15.
