A beginning and an End

The end of a circle, a merry go round.

Reached the pinnacle of happiness, swam in the pool of darkness

Friends who have stayed, I thank you.

Friends who have left, I wish you well.

A death, a birth, loved and lost, a marriage.

So many more, hard to express, harder that it be understood.

So much tears, weary of it all.

Ghosts of the past, when will you stop lingering on and let me go?

Let. Me. Go.
