my ex husband was married yesterday, 40 years after our marriage. It has been a bittersweet weekend for me.

Farewell

by Amber "V" Moonstone

5/14/11

Forty years ago,
you were mine,
and I was yours.
That was the past.

Today, I embrace
the freedom that
my past has given me
Peace, love and lightness.

I do not weep 
nor, do I  dwell
in the darkness
that once surrounded my life.

I do embrace the light,
I embrace love,
and most of all
I embrace Peace.

Bittersweet memories
stir my soul today,
another lifetime
flashes before my eyes.

I shed tears of letting go
for the last time,
you are now another person's
husband, and I still,  your first wife.

I know you better than anyone,
I loved you longer than anyone,
now I bid you farewell
and wish you peace, love, and lightness.

 

Farewell (c) Amber "V" Moonstone

Amber, You have a heart full of gold. Even after the darkness you still wish him well. I didn't know you back then but I know you now and you are the light that shines so bright. Farewell to the past...Take care my sweet spirit sister! Hugs, Chessly

most people do not take the commitment to marriage litely, you are one. That's why you had the weekend you did. However, you used the word bitter/sweet. The weekend was sweeter than you think! Love, Morgan

As always, writing will help you to accomplish it. I think you were wise to write this poem. We can't erase memories, but we can put them in their place and move on.
Nicely written farewell--keep looking to the future.

My ex-wife got engaged a month ago.
She called me to tell me about it...perhaps...because...
Who else cares about her?
But freedom is a never ending discovery.
Peace- deep peace.

Nope. You do not bid him farewell. He is still in your heart. I am sorry if what I said offends you, but your poem proved this truth, Amber.
