Poems. Dearest Juliana.

Is it Goodbye or Au revoir?

Dearest friend, the time has come for us to depart,

     But heavy farewells need not weigh on the heart.

Au voir, dearest friend, but it’s not goodbye,

     Even though we may depart with a long, teary sigh.

Though days may stretch and seasons change in vain,

     The laughter and love we shared will always remain.

Our paths may diverge, as new journeys begin,

     Yet friendship’s anchor will hold deep from within.  

In each twilight’s whisper and dawn’s golden light,

     I’ll think of you kindly, till reunions delight.

Till we meet again, in the dance of tomorrow,

     Carry my smile to soften your sorrow.

Farewell for now, but not for long,

     For friendship is steady, heartfelt, and strong.

Like rivers that meet, then lovingly bend,

     Remember, it’s not goodbye, it’s au revoir, my friend,

As the sun dips low, painting our memories in gold,

     Our laughter and tears, on parchment scrolled.

Though our paths may split in twilight’s gentle gleam,

     The moments we shared, our memoires can redeem.

Because hearts don’t forget where love has been,

     Farewell’s not an ending, but where we begin.

So turn the page softly, with hope evermore,

     We’ll meet again, if not here, then on Heaven’s bright shore.
