Hellos and goodbyes

Hellos and goodbyes

A Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)
"

It's of howdys toodleoos, tatas, and adieus

"
Ne’er feel need to say hello
Nor ne’er  need bid to one goodbye
In it’s stead, show love
And touch the shoulder of…
Greet and leave them
With a smile in one’s eye

Greet them…as had ne’er parted
Only for a moment but had  stepped away
Take one’s leave
As in arrival
With friendly face
And heart on sleeve

Hellos and byes be simple lies
When one’s heart ne’er in truth …
Arrives or parts
One can ne’er stray
Too far away
from those who dwell
within thoughts and hearts

Are they not in one’s mind wrought
Full and warm in mind’s misty eyes
So to me, you see, it’s
Happenstance of hypocrisy
These rituals that be given lives

Happy greetings, sad leavings
Cheerios, toodleoos,
God be with you’s,
Fond adieus

…Hellos and goodbyes…
