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
Invites me
Through the
Rod iron door
Immensely
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Into the
Unknown, unknown, unknown
Where
Possibilities abound
Where
You reside
Or 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
Sighing
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
No goodbyes
For us
Only
Hello
At this precise
Moment
I must confess
However,
Goodbyes
Encapsulates
Torments
Won’t wait
Gotta firm hold
No matter
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
A gentle nudge
Slight whisper
Hello, hello, hello
When goodbyes
Emerge,
I scamper, 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
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
An inviting, simple
Hello
Hey!
Let’s agree
No more
Goodbyes
No, not anymore
Solamente
A straight up
Glistening, genuine, sincere
Hello
