Hello goodbye

Soaring above the plains
Yet again
My heart heaves
How many farewells
Can one's soul withstand?

I floated afar
As an apparition thereafter
Drifted out of surreality
Into tangibility
Responsibility
Conformity

Fear, a mist
Renders me myopic
Blind to the path which might
Or mightn't? Be there
But to linger
And linger
Over more than a thousand morrows
Only tears down further

I came back to discover that the globe had completed another dance around the sun.
It is 2006!
Another year of beginnings. And endings.
