    The Beautiful Goodbye

    My day opens to the sound of life.
    Grounded are my wings unable to fly.
    Quite are my lips so not to shatter the silence.
    I walk among you though you can not see me.
    I whisper to you and you do not hear me.
    Your mind transfixed on something but what?
    Your eyes tell the story in vivid color
    Your smile so alluring with lips so soft and supple
    And then it happens, you look my way and my wings
    Begin to unfold; my lips begin to form a sentence
    Fluttered in illusion I drink the moment in careful with
    My words as not to spill the essence of my metaphor
    I feel as if waves are pulling me out to sea away from
    You, though this ebb tide will not so easily silence me
    Formed are my words crafted with false bravado
    And yet I still am transfixed in your very essence
    Unable yet to still whisper any salvation of words
    I step back in a moment in time when we were
    One and realize not only have you been there
    But you are still there for your eyes; yes your eyes
    Are the channels at witch we sail through to see?
    Our past, present, future….

    Thank you.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
