GOODBYES
20 May 2011

How sun-smiles it was
that they weren’t able to say
that rain-day goodbye
then

and when they were able
the sadness
bonded them
even more
than before.

Goodbyes are sad, always, and when both parts are sad they cling to the sadness and the lingering in this sadness ties them together and separation seems an illusion.

You say it with your lovely Owl-uniqueness.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you Margherita for understanding so well, and for your kind, heart-warming words.  Yes, you are right, and some goodbyes are particularly sad.
