How Do You Say Goodbye* A Callabo With The Mirror Of My Soul

How Do You Say Goodbye* A Callabo With The Mirror Of My Soul

A Poem by Choosing Life
"

A forever kindred friend wrote this with me... We don't speak anymore but our words tell tales in eternity... Shhh.. Just listen

"

 

 

 

How do you say goodbye
to the sweetest song
ever heard by your soul
let go of a promise
that seems too good to be true
but is
and wake up ok
how do you take a step
into the direction of no more
when all you see
is more than enough
and in the hopes of being righteous
you are sure you are so wrong
how do you say heart
stop speaking that
thinking that
and ease the soul
that only wants to know itself

again and again
because in that touch
it does
the very touch that you are saying goodbye to
mirrors your soul completely
and how do you
say no to love
stop it
or hush its defiant cry
how do you?
how does one run away from fate
when fate is running towards him
when destiny is overpowering her
when the future is hunting him down like a lion
secretly awaiting its prey
how does anyone escape the
falling rain
how does anyone find himself
avoiding the rising of the grass under his feet
when the seeds were planted
long ago
before the birth of the world
before the idea of existence
how does one look past love

to deliberately find herself
in love with leaving it
in love with the notion that she'd avoided detriment
in love with the feeling of vanity
as to trick God
as to outsmart and outwit the truth
when the truth is only alive in every action she takes
back towards fate
back towards his destiny
their union
an inseparable
immeasurable
impeccable
experience
of love before and beyond conception
the hearts
that were drawn from the same seed of God
made to be so close in likeness
and wonderful in uniqueness
knowing life
on levels that boggle human minds
knowing touch that takes no hands
and needs no skin to be felt
knowing what is not to be known

but is more than known
in the touch of the love of her existence in flesh
she sits
on the shore
awaiting an answer
looking into her reflection
seeing only him
and ready to drown in the life she'd left behind
and he
in his attempts to be in right standing
barely stands
in agony
running
walking
away from the racing tide...

a beautiful, but sad story....to say goodbye. to just walk away from love, each other, everything that is precious.

I'm sorry that you no longer talk to the person that wrote this with you...you wrote well together.

Very good writing!
