Is this the end?
The end of something so colorful...
So alive.
I cannot comprehend...

Realization hits me hard.
It is the beginning.
And it shines slightly
In this field that is so charred.

I feel the past behind me,
And I let it go...let it fall.
The future shines bright ahead.
And I wonder when I will be free.

I won't forget the past.
It is me..now and always.
Forgiveness is the key.
And its worth is unsurpassed.

You are part of who I am today.
Part of who I was yesterday.
I've learned so much...
In this world that is shaded grey.

With a bow and a smile I walk away.
It's sad, yes.
But there is nothing left to do.
And nothing left to say.

Except...
Farewell,
My Friend
