Farewell

mazen.safadi

Time dried on the edge of the city

And shrinked into the undying now

So I could finally sniff the scent of freedom

Which rippled all over my shivering body

 

From one dalliance to another I went

This time with the exuberance of life

And afar I could see my fears

Dissolve at once into the ether

 

Farewell, I said, I have to leave

To a field of roses and flowers

Long was my stay here

In this cold bitter place

 

This dawn like no other

As it leaves it stays forever

You hear its dulcet voice

Fuse with the distant clouds

 

Evanescent was it all

But as I ogled the city once again

I was certain that

Some things do

Last forever.

    let all yesterday's be our burial ground for the pavemented city zones of all things bleak: in our reality,
    onwards - to that daybreak of a clean slate, upon nature's untamed green: where to next?
    like your positivity, more power to you!
    thanks for inspiring my little scribbled response,
