    Goodnight, Sweet Girl

    As people walk by – just movements, passing the time
    Drifting in and out of our lives
    A lingering question remains… “How? Why?”

    How sweet life can be in a moment here or there
    A walk in the woods, a yawning forth dawn
    How it’s swept away, now gone
    A haunted whisper around you, in the midnight air

    As the moon has a shadow side, so does my path
    The next iteration
    A decision to live, surrender, to not turn back

    As I step away from the outer world
    And I go in
    I continue to find myself again and again

    The arrival of hope
    As magic makes a home
    As questions turn to knowing
    A rite of passage in growth

    With the skies of blue and leaves of yellow & green
    Our lives drift onward
    With the promise of the seen & unseen

    The fabric of our lives, the stories we tell
    A recipe for peace
    Good night, sweet girl

    • Kaitlin, I love how you describe the way people move in and out of our lives, almost like moments. Life continues to move forward, and sometimes certain people don’t move forward with us. They become a part of our story and who we become. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem!
