I Don’t Know Why You Say Goodbye

when I say hello.

Goodbye to poisoned dreams,
wishful thinking, and selfish sighs.
Goodbye to wasted youth and fishbowl vision,
Goodbye to frivolous choices and never-uttered cries.

With hope and expectation, beckon the new forth.
Hello to light and vibrant life!
Hello to joy with suffering, peace and presence,
laughter amid tears;
Hello to the Bright Morning Star,
Goodbye to shadowed fears.
