The Boundary of Goodbye



The Boundary of Goodbye


In the perimeters of my life
In the limits I've imposed upon
myself and others,
Or the circumstances I have been
subject to from time to time
There is none deeper or towering
higher than
The boundary of goodbye.


I can write of birthdays and other
special occasions
Record anniversaries both noble
and tragic
But no action overcomes the
emotional and physical deaths 
that the farewells whisper.
The voices of departure, absence or 
lost opportunity.
