Hudson Yankee Blue – 2003-2012
Farewell, But Never Goodbye
The last jagged fragments
trickle over stuttering lips.
I have nothing left to cry.
So bravely you fought,
through a world filled with pain.
Accepting peace with more grace than ever.
A warm pool of shards.
So many fond memories.
I smile at their brilliant reflection,
and bleed as they cut ever deeper.
Your road has not ended.
Such roads never do.
They simply transform into new.
Now free of the structure
and harshness of life,
finally free to walk your own path.
I will carry you forward
in this new life I find,
and bury my anger beneath gratitude.
I know you were ready.
Well, I never was.
I hope I made you proud,
as you have always made me.
Today, I awaken to a somber grey sky.
A mourning world relays my emotion.
But later on, in a day or two,
The sky will clear again.
The sun will shine through
and deliver your warmth.
This time not from beside,
but high above.
I will see you then,
and I will know
that we truly never part at all.
Sleep well, brave girl…
