Saying Goodbye
To Friends in Antelope Valley
Bittersweet is the taste
set forth by the closing
of another chapter.
Each quarter, assignment,
year of healing
and giving thanks for
moments, friendships,
all the way through.
To the most recent
a group that I wish I could take with me.
Alas, I do, in memory, thought
and forever in my heart.
To the entirety of
Antelope Valley
I give thanks.
Returning home
soon embarking
on the closure of unfinished healing
of the past.
I give thanks.
