Tango de Nuestro Adios


I have no words for "goodbye".

There is no way to admit

That you no longer will

Be part of me.

Just by you

Being you

I will be more myself.

Just to keep you

In my heart

When you're a continent away

Will shake the snowy globe

Of memory.

The old dance of magic,

Of joy,

And love,

Will call me to the music,

Spin my tired soul across the floor,

School me, once again,

In listening with my soul unfettered,

Free to sing and dance

The music others often hear better than I,

The lovely, graceful song of my own heart.
