~the most beautiful goodbye song

There was this scene in Up

roots left the ground

I'm flying

ever since I heard the melody of that song

& I feel now

the change is coming for good

I take a deep breath

& I comprehend

my roots are finding their way up in the sky

I feel grounded

grounded in my unlived now

hearing the steps as I walk by the lake

singing the most beautiful goodbye song

here's to you

here's to that glass of time

for weeks

the embodiment has been an illusion

the reality smiling

seemingly far and the closest I've ever been

I take a deep breath

& comprehend

it takes too much

because I'm saying goodbye now

when I return

my roots will have touched the smell of home

when I return

my ink will have found its way home

when I return

the frequency will hold me above

when I return

I will know the final reason

when I return

it will be for my last goodbye

like an unfinished sentence

triple dots

& fading out

the sun is rising in blue

when I return

i will see through her waves

& i will have found

timekissed.
