Welcome Poetry Friends
I wanted to start a thread to share some Goodbyes if anyone feels so inclined to share it would be very welcome! For the forum poets and also for anybody else who may stumble through.
I have had some really wonderful interactions here over the years ! Too many names to count!
I was not feeling inspired to write anything, I had a quick look at google to see if I could find something fitting by other authors... (Still searching on that front).
In my crazed efforts to save that which I felt worth saving, I found this poem I wrote a few years back, changed some of the words and thought that I would shamelessly plug it here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cordial goodbyes...wrapped up in a cloak of grief...
Letting go of memories once captured, now set to be released.
Recuperated doves whose wings have healed as
time revealed that we will never again be the same.
Nothing captured, nothing gained, no wounds need healing for only love remains.
Love remembered, remembrance gained...
The present will never again be the same.
Cordial goodbyes...
One last word of love
one last hug sent across the dark divide, space and time...
Be well my friends - may all our hearts feel renewed. May the spark of the divine in me reach out to remember and honour the light in you.

The wind blows off my hat far away... and I laughed!
Who needs a hat with a feather...
I love this place too....

What a convenient little segway to share some fun facts about the feather in the photo muhahaha. Well not right now but later.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everybody needs a Kookabarra feather in their hat -
So long as the Kookuburra grants you such a
Precious thing like that!
(I am workshopping the rest of that poem, my insomniac brain is all mush today jdhfjfdjdmdnfjf).....
I am leaving behind a trail of unfinished stories today... The Forum migh be holding a space for all the unfinished stories laying in wait around here Lol.
My brain says goodnight just for now.
Hope you find your feathered hat. I had a hat with a brim full of wine corks once, for theatrics. Nobody actually wears them here.

I do not mind, in fact I was counting on you to post a song and you came through just as I expected haha! We can talk music for the rest of eternity now HAHAHA or until one of us fades out stage left.
Here is a snippet of some lyrics for "sayonara" by the Pogues:
"OK, it's time for Sayonara
So long yankee break my heart
Now there's nothing left but sorrow
Even the best friends they must part"
The singer sounds a little bit whisky tipsy - the song is great fun though. I am playing it again. Life is awash with hello's and goodbye's... I am starting to wonder if I say goodbye a little too easily though lol - the art of Non attachment may have worked a little too well for me LOL.
I may need to bring it back in a little bit!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I had this song stuck in my head last night: Sickly sentimental song written by a Scottish expat singing about his homeland. It was the chorus that got me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REEE1V31AJ8
The lyrics are not online so I tried to capture the lyrics and write them down through his Scottish accent .
The End of an Auld Song By Eric Bogle
You're still the first verse of my song,
The melody which shapes a rhyme,
You're the beat which drives me on,
The light which colours every line.
You're still the echo in my soul,
A bright green fading into dark,
You're an ache I can't control,
You're still an arrow in my heart.
Chorus
From there to here, this roads been long
But now I am back where I belong,
At the end of an auld, auld song.
You're still the hawks cry on the wind,
In a high and lonely place,
You're the snow drops in the spring,
A drunkards red and angry face.
You're still the hand that's free to give,
A stiff neck that will not bend,
A fierce pride that can't forgive,
A door I opened, my dear friend.
CHORUS
The rest of the lyrics I have trouble understanding but I know that there are words like "Bonnie", and place names Brigadoon and Castlemaine in there.
Oh and "Pints so heavy at the pub" of course

Just giving it another listen, so so fantastic. Master Lilter, and still haven't heard any better than Bhagavan Bogle, there are none. Who can sing about the world like that and get away with ? " Pints so heavy at the pub ", im there straight away, " a drunkard's red and angry face" " A grey and ugly housing scheme, yes ive seen it and been there " Castlemilk and Brigadoon, badly thought out utilitarian housing estates, ( i lived on one) that stole your life and soul you weren't careful ! ..Effing fantastic !!!!! Here is another one from Shane mcGowan i had lined up after Sayonara. But alas i will have to rethink the playlist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66quTi26YLY
When it's summer in Siam
Then all I really know is that I truly am
In the summer in Siam
In the summer in Siam
In the summer in Siam
hmmmm, has the arrow left the bow...thinking it might have for Joe. (sounds like an opening line lol)

Hey Joe, Music is my armour....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1wgaFJ0750
The heart, a very refined instrument.
Between the notes we grow... you know.
She has awesome hair, growing mine, but wow.
"It was swift, it was just another wave of the miracle."
I see us as souls having a life, perhaps we are just that.

Nawww man.... I know you were talking to Joe but ya got me instead muhahahaha
That is a beautiful song and today is the worst day to listen to it given all the recent events in my life and the world turning my stupid heart into mush for no good reason...Darn it all.
Grumble, grumble.
Stupid cello, I cannot handle the cello, it has to be one of the most beautiful instruments in the entire world in my humble opinion.
Hey, My Grandparents were both musicians, piano, violin and voice were their instruments of choice. My Grandfather worked in a music shop. They used to sing duets together at gatherings. I never knew either of them well because they died when I was very young. My grandfather had a very large collection of records which were left to my mother who often used to play them on the record player.
A few months ago I discovered a couple of old sheets of music, songs which my grandmother had composed. I had no idea up until then that she wrote her own music ! It was like finding treasure.
P.s.
You could buy a long, blonde wig, it is quicker then growing your own hair.

Music was her armour too unfortunately she didn't wear it enough or used it inappropriately, but i knew she was a star, once in a generation musician and this song is a great song. Emotionally devastatingly connected to the heart but didn't fully realise or know it.
