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.

Hope you don't mind me posting this song, Sayonara by the Pogues.
The opening of the Song makes you think you are going somewhere like striking out for future or something lololololol ...hmmm good song though. ok later.
" Go on Yankee break my heart " lol.

What?

A woman lays down for slumber and 8 hours later when she wakes up the whole world has changed again

"Like sands in the hourglass, so are the days of our lives". Days of our lives quote

Dear forums, you really do know how to get the sentimental ball rolling for this bleeding heart poet, who is always the first to rush in for hugs and a goodbye.

I may need to change the title of this thread yet - to "rebuttal sayonara" "Spiritual Forums appreciation thread" or "Free hugs" anything, I have no idea what?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, things have taken another turn but my hearts floodgates have been unleashed now! WATCH OUT WORLD.

Is it too early to say:

"Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about"... (That is not meant to be offensive, I have laughed an awful alot here).

Hi Tullyquinn11, seems that this thread may just potentially change to a "Free hugs" thread, contemplating a new title.
here is a hug

There is no other place like this place.

I am so happy that something I have done in life has inspired another person. I often feel like I write an awful lot of drivel haha which to be honest, I do... but I leave just a few gems behind occasionally which makes it all worth it.
It truly makes my soul quite happy to read your comment. That must be important for me to hear because I often think in terms of what non material legacy I will leave behind after I am gone.

We are in weird times, as you mention. Thank you for the reminder! I become complacent at times and forget to look outside of my bubble! Just one of the problems when Living in a place which is far away from it all.

Well hold that thought
They may not be needed just yet. I may just be able to continue enjoying your poetry right here.

I went to have a look at those sites and they just did not feel quite like home to me but I would happily transit over if need be, if only to spy on others and loiter around.

This place has a special X factor for me so I was ready to say my goodbyes and fly my ship to green pastures yonder.

Not without saying goodbye first of course though!

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

Yesterday and the day before, after reading though the boards on old conversations I realised just the amount of wonderful interactions I have had on here with many people here who brought so much colour into my life. The list was so long that I lost count and decided to cast a net out here instead in fear that if I started creating lists that I would forget to mention names and I did not want to live with that.

So I threw some bait of positive vibes out instead and hoped that it would get some views
