Goodbye

Lick the envelope,
bid you a farewell.
Melancholy smiles
mute the words I yell
.

Holding the letter
that carries my thoughts.
Logic in answers,
yet feeling distraught
.

Handing it over,
receiving my own.
Thankful for moments
with lessons now known
.

Taking unpaved paths,
detached and set free.
Leaving your presence,
returning to me
.

Reading this letter
helps me realize.
My ultimate peace,
is the valued prize
.

Goodbye and farewell,
hope life grants you ease.
May you find your way,
flowing with the breeze
.
