(I came alone and you don't know
it yet, but that's how I'm going)
I'll drop you like a spent fix
because I know
there's barely a bridge that exists
which can stand the span
all time and space will inhabit
once we're separated.
So you'll never have to question why
just close the door behind
me--don't watch-- as I
disappear before you down
the rolling curvature of horizon
and remember I told you
I travel lightly along
with the setting sun.
excellent. as above (below?) i particularly love the send off, wraps the whole piece up beautifully.
Señora, Splendid words. Thank you for this. Keith
Unbent and unbowed. Love it.
Best of all are the last two lines:
I travel lightly along
with the setting sun.

Hello...
Thanks, Raj..I'm glad you picked up on those final lines--they were the most special to me, too.
And David...it is a goodbye note, that's true. I find that it's a rare occurrence to encounter any interpersonal relationship that can stand the test of distance and time. Personal circumstances can change so rapidly that, mostly, I find it to be more graceful to forego the complication of trying to maintain communication by simply letting go. But, then, I am thankful for the rare exception to this personal rule.
Hey, Keith...thank you, kind sir. I always appreciate you reading.
And, yes, quite right, Stu--almost like moving against the setting of the sun. Very clever how you put that together.
Such kind comments...take good care, all...
