Goodbye

Goodbye

to falling leaves of coming winter haze

to frost on windows chilly pane

to spring on heels of winters reign

to summers warm sunny gaze

Goodbye

to ocean waves of steely blue

to mountain heights of meadows dew

to dusty sand of desert blew

to forest floors of saplings new

Goodbye

to yesterday and the day before

to tomorrows promised dance floor

to past mistakes never to restore

to future wrongs to never account for

Goodbye

The word "goodbye" has a painful and melancholic feel in it.... There is no good in goodbyes, the moments, the seasons we leave behind as the time passes we have to leave our loved ones too.... That pain is incurable but we have to move on with life towards a new season and a new world of people.... Simple way and nicely delivered poetry... Evoked deep thoughts......

This poem was actually written last fall. It was written to what will be a five year marriage. We are now in the process of a divorce.

I enjoyed the poem. I like the places you took me in the good description. Goodbye are sad words to me. We will leave many seasons behind and people. I like the powerful ending. They is wisdom there. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Nice poem. I also have poem with same title...but this one is quite different in style and I like it.
Keep writing.

this could be about suicide...and all that the speaker will never see or feel or experience again.

goodbye to life.

or it could be a hello to new life...new hope...

leaves it a bit open for either...i always say "less is more" and believe it.

you show in your poems but you also leave lots to the reader's imagination..which is definitely a good thing.
