Hello
By Maureen Ucles
It’s not
Goodbye
For us
No, not
In the least
It’s
Hello
It’s never
Goodbye
To the newness
To the past
Present
What will
be
Could
be
Should
be
Can’t you
see?
Got me
so
Intrigued
No, no, no
Not goodbye
But
Hello
Once more
It’s not goodbye
But hello
Again
Invites me
In
Through the
Old rod iron
door
So massively
heavy
heavy,
heavy
Into
the
Unknown,
known,
known
Where
Possibilities abound
Where
you reside
Just might be
found
Did I hear that
familiar
familiar
sound?
Your
sweet, sweet,
Hello
Otra vez
It’s not
goodbye
It’s the
perpetual possibility
Hello
I must confess
Though
Sometimes
really don’t know
If I’m
at
Goodbye
Or smiling
Hello
I suppose
Deep,
deep
down
I know
We can never
End
But look
ahead
To
To
Hello
Doors wide open
In this dark blue ocean
Cool winds a’ blowin’
Deep, deep in our souls
Feels like heaven
Almost
Not quite
No
Goodbyes
For us
Only
Hello
I must confess
However,
Goodbyes
Encapsulates
torments
Won’t wait
Gotta firm hold
No matter
What I do
Won’t let go
Times pondered
Times spent
Is this
the
end?
Where did
it
all
go?
I’m all
out
Just
dunno
Then
I ponder
Let my mind
Wonder
consider
gentle nudge
a
slight
whisper
Hello, hello, hello
When goodbye
emerges,
I scamper
and
flee
Relishing
remembrances
past
realizing
Ya
know?
Tomorrow beckons
another chance
Hello
Hello
Wrapped in
sweet
butter frosting
Fresh winter snow
Blanketing the countryside
Of our
Hearts
Minds
And
Souls
With belly cracking
laughter
Lungs full of
crazy
crazy
crazy
Sometime soon
Next
Hello
Our lives
goodbyes
Conflicted
Juxtaposed
Never quite closed
A glimmer of hope
draped in
Hello
Many,
many,
sunrises
hello
Sunsets,
rainy days
hello
After
the storm
hello
Just an
inviting,
simple
Hello
Hey!
Let’s agree
No more
Goodbyes
Not
Anymore!
Hello
A straight up
Glistening,
Genuine,
Sincere
Hello
