Beautiful Release

It’s a feeling inside and it must die

Peacefully as if it never did,

But into shadows fade, slowly,

Only — my friend, such goodbye time to bid.

Show not your feelings, your thoughts in words

Sustaining and soothing sweet caress.

Speak them not with plaintive lips

Lest wistful hearts redress

A past so tender, sentiments splintered

Nurturing wounds of old.

Golden memories ought now be frozen,

Only history, distant, shall behold.

Cry your tears in the darkness of night

So that maybe the outside will die

And seek a new core to embody:

A renewed inside to magnify.

It’s a feeling inside and it must die

Peacefully as if it never did.

It’s a beautiful release, nothing to hide.

Goodbye now, my friend. Goodbye.

I see the world through a spiritual lens. It recognizes that at our core — regardless of religion, tradition, or any label at all — we’re one and the same.
