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 airAs the moon has a shadow side, so does my path
The next iteration
A decision to live, surrender, to not turn backAs I step away from the outer world
And I go in
I continue to find myself again and againThe arrival of hope
As magic makes a home
As questions turn to knowing
A rite of passage in growthWith the skies of blue and leaves of yellow & green
Our lives drift onward
With the promise of the seen & unseenThe fabric of our lives, the stories we tell
A recipe for peace
Good night, sweet girlVoting is open!

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!
