Beautiful poem.. on a kind of abstract level I love the way the writing gets denser and larger on the page as it goes before returning to settle again. Not sure if that was intentional but super cool 🤘

I'm glad you noticed that!

I wanted it to feel like a trickle becoming a drizzle becoming a downpour and then a storm before slowly passing back into calm. I think emotions can be a lot like the weather in that way.

Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts.

This felt like I was in a ray of rainbows and lights and even when I was unconsciously saying goodbye it still felt warm.

This is so detailed and beautifull BJ.

Thank you Ral. I was inspired by a very sad moment in an anime I was watching. A tragic event unfolded that reminded me that we're all parting company from those we cherish at some point, and we rarely get a say on the when, why, or how. But what if our final moments together were a dance?

This is absolutely beautiful. I’ve always hoped that the other side of a goodbye feels something like this.

Thank you June. I imagine that for me, it might take a lot of therapy and inner child work, but it's certainly possible for each of us when the moment inevitably comes.
