goodbye

the sun should dance just a little
and the seas part as we put this place behind us
i want to ask you
i am on a precipice
where will my foot fall
when i take that step having turned around?

from you

i know now how this world will fail
how the moments are broken
without you

my heart cleaves to the promise of resurrections
or how can this be beautiful?

may the road rise to meet you
may the wind be always at your back

i can bless you yet
and may God hold you in the palm of his hand
