Goodbye

Our shadows
fall long
between the days

Your voice, a bird
lost in the clouds
calling me
from far away

We walked together
through summer gardens
shared the golden grains
of time
between our hands

Now the evening flows
like a silent stream
divides our shores
our words fade
in the emptiness of the wind

Yet somewhere in the silence
you remain
in the forgotten corners
of our soul

You leave
with the autumn leaves
but one stays
alive within us
quietly
like an eternal promise.
