Goodbye My Darling
Photo by me, at my home. The smoke from an afternoon fire (left) lingers with the sun streams as the sun goes down.
Unravel wound show me your heart
Let me see how, and when you did start
When did I believe you were true?
How do I understand, so we can be through?
Unravel wound show me your heart
Can we learn together, then be apart?
To see that place and know that fear
And then to let it disappear
Unravel wound show me your heart
Let me see you and know you at last
I can feel you just there, holding me still
Can I see you, touch you, and know your will?
Your intricate elegance, I may glimpse and know
How briefly I will understand before you go
Thank you for your relentless lesson
And now my wound am I forgiven?
How long before I heard your voice?
Saw your message, made my choice?
How long have you been part of me?
Now my wound, I set you free
Why do I hide, even inside?
Why do I dull, and mull and lull?
When you leave, I will not hide
Even from me, even inside
When your gone
I will live on
And live I will, my wound, my dear
Thank you, for showing me, my fear
Goodbye my wound
I set you free, to show another the fear they see
Into the ether so greatly
And when you help another see, I will stop and smile so fondly
Your eyes will close no more will they see
Your ears will deafen no more will they hear
Your voice will quiet no more will you speak
Your heart will heal no more will you feel
And listen to my heart I will, the clear and simple truth
For now I see
For now I hear
For now I speak
For now I feel
Without fear
