This is not a verse of rejection

Here you won’t find anything averse

It is just one last interjection

Mere words of gratefulness

And vowels and consonants of joy

So many days filled with pleasure

The reading and writing

The lilt and slant of so many voices.

Taking the time to hold a moment

Of what is in another’s mind and soul

A great ‘thank you’ to all who read and write

In the early morning or late at night -

There are always comings and goings

The happy greetings, and sad goodbyes -

But this one here is a fare-well-farewell

A bright wish of the Muses’ blessings

For each and everyone!

The time has come, my wings grown strong

Unfold and stretch to carry me on

As I fly away that wish will stay:

Happy Writing and Keep Up the Good Work!
