Goodbye, My Love

Rating: 5.0


'GOOD BYE, MY LOVE' Part I
Written: December 14,2015

After the snowfall but before the lily blossoms,
you were this woman who left by choice,
all natural decisions made from a place of despair,
darkness consumed you as you fell into an addiction
with expressions of deep sorrow and remorse...
step by step by step...
taking steps...
foot by foot by foot,
slower than a run, yet faster than a turtle,
closer and closer towards your oblivion...
Into mysterious unconsciousness,
I whispered...

'Goodbye, my love, '...as you walked away...

After the spring but before the leaves,
I found you drained of energy,
completely exhausted into nothingness,
and through it all, you still loved me...
seems like yesterday we walked side by side,
you..me...the gentle breeze...
You need not ask for forgiveness, sweetheart,
it has been granted long ago,
and before you were gone,
I already whispered,

"Goodbye, my love', as you walked away...

After the sun but before the rain,
You tore out the pages from your favorite book,
You wrote it at such a tender age,
Too young to understand,
yet too old to make believe,
big brown eyes,
wearing a ball cap on your head,
smiling while hiding and running while crying...
I couldn't handle this defeated hopelessness
you wore on your sleeves,
patches sewn on to cover up
the burn holes...
I sit at your grave once again,
no tears, no laughter no guilt...
I stood up and whispered..

"Good bye, my love', as I walked away...

'HELLO, MY LOVE' Part II
Date Written: February 29,2016


After the hot sunshine, but before the icicles started
reflecting prisms of rainbows,
I was this woman in poor health.
I spent days, weeks and months lying in that
cold hospital bed. That musty room smelled like
disease and loss. After time passed I was ready to fly above.
My husband kept his promise to allow me to
die with in the comfort of my home.
My bed...my bathroom...my life...my family...my choice...
When I first got the news that I had lupus,
my ears got quiet, yet my mind screamed in fear.
So, there I was battling this deadly disease.
I had been sleeping for three days, hooked up to
an IV of pain medicine to keep me comfortable.
Once I heard my daughter say,
"it's ok mommy, you can let go now, I will always love you",
my left eye opened with a tiny tear falling
down my cheek. I knew it was time.
I walked into the light and there I saw her.
my sweet sister. She wore smiles gleaming
and our hearts immediately connected,
melting together like wax from a candle.
All the terrible memories I had surrounding
her death had vanished. All I could see was
her big doe shaped brown eyes, staring at me in
amazement.
There in sweet heavenly bliss I whispered...

"Hello, my love, " as I walked her way....

After blue clouds but before the kingdom,
she was absolutely glowing in luminescence.
I had waited five years for this exact moment.
She took my hand and we walked through the
garden with trellises of roses and to the left
were bright colored lily's. Her favorite flower.
For her, there was no more smiling while hiding
and running while crying. Her defeated hopelessness
turned into a promising and auspicious reality.
For myself, there would be no more heavy breathing
and muscle aches with terrible pain. Holding
hands she led me to the golden kingdom.
It actually did have white pearly gates!
She walked ahead and turned around to me with
excitement saying, "now is the time to follow me, dear sister."
Taken aback by the glorious light, I whispered...

"Hello, my love, " as I walked her way...
