To Drop A Farthing

Good byes washed

in dark birthings

of anticipation

can be shrouded in

a twisted beauty

of their own...


Some carry no burden

of remorse...

a simple dropping 

of a farthing...


while others ignite

a searing passion

for a red herring

to be shown.

Good byes are so sad and then leave an anticipation of meeting once more. Loved it.

A pondering poem that made me stop think, wink and read it again. Like fine wine it was better the second time. Sometimes good-byes are forever and others are really the start of a new, "Hello"

Peace be with you, love and blessings,

Simple, but direct in its perspective on life and leaving.

I almost missed the intent of this poem, had to read it twice, then thrice and I'm glad I did...darkly nice.
Cheers,

Misdirection is for sure the survivalists' credo, and it can work in almost any situation. Liked the simplistic style here, with cunning and darkness powerfully present. Yes. Goodbyes are difficult as the norm, but add "dark birthing" and anything is up for grabs.
