~the most beautiful goodbye song

There was this scene in Uproots left the groundI'm flyingever since I heard the melody of that song& I feel now the change is coming for good

I take a deep breath& I comprehendmy roots are finding their way up in the skyI feel groundedgrounded in my unlived now

hearing the steps as I walk by the lakesinging the most beautiful goodbye song

here's to youhere's to that glass of time

for weeksthe embodiment has been an illusionthe reality smilingseemingly far and the closest I've ever been

I take a deep breath & comprehendit takes too muchbecause I'm saying goodbye now

when I returnmy roots will have touched the smell of home

when I returnmy ink will have found its way home

when I returnthe frequency will hold me above

when I returnI will know the final reason

when I returnit will be for my last goodbye

like an unfinished sentencetriple dots& fading outthe sun is rising in blue

when I returni will see through her waves& i will have found

timekissed.
