Analysis of Good Bye at last
Brush stroke fill the sky with azure tinted cloud
Lessening the darkness, lightening the shadow there
Butterfly wing melodies sing of the memories now passing
Lingering webs of confusion part with the breath of promise
I stand crying a last tear as clinging hands loosen their grasp
The past is a sunrise bringing knowledge filled light
Shining strong on the shades of passing,
Good Bye at last. We will meet again.
