Come in, take off your coat, stay awhile.

All grown up, he turned around, with a whisper of a smile,
“This is goodbye, then.”
They were confused, and said to him,
“Silly boy, this is no time for goodbyes.”
And then they went dancing barefoot in the skies.

Do You As I

Do you as I cherish the gentle goodbye
Between two friends in hushed winter’s air?
Do you then feel content on letting flutter by
The moments that were here and now are there?
If I could only take your hand for a second
Without feeling venomous and uncouth,
Then I would act on visions previously reckoned,
And breathlessly play in the spring of my youth.
Do I as you know what it means to value
Someone sincere over clothes white as snow?
Will I as you find a better way through
The binding loneliness that will someday go?
Do you as myself spindle the most convenient lie,
Or have you as I learned to let something special die.
