The soul calls…
and you pack your bag
of unfulfilled dreams
for the next time.
Like the bittersweet strains
of the Pachelbel Canon,
you glance back,
memories of love given
and received
wash over you.
You realize what
it’s all been for…
Your epitaph is written
on the hearts of those
who loved you.
Bidding farewell,
with faith and trust
as your companions,
you pass through the door
that beckons,
free at last.
