What a sweet thing
it is to look upon,
a parting glance,
a last sigh,
a kiss goodbye.
How many days…
a hundred, and
I’m still looking
your way,
three hundred,
and I feel I can’t
stay away, yet —
today is the day
we say bye-bye.
This is just
another beginning,
a twist on a strand,
a turn in the road,
a step away.
Perhaps I’ll find myself
looking over at you,
again,
some other day.
A hearty congratulations to all that crossed the finish line — we made it! It was challenging. I pushed myself in ways that I have not in years. There were days when I got one hour of sleep trying to fit this into my schedule and I revel in that, what a beautiful thing it is to be pushed past your perceived bounds. I feel I made some new friends and I certainly have been inspired by many during this period. There was a dark side too, and I am grateful for that as that is really where one encounters the shadow self — I learned a lot.
Thank you ever so to
