It is time to leave this place and retreat back to one’s self.
Pack up the items – the coffee cup, the slippers, or
the books, thanking every one for their support.
Spend the next days in the best way possible?
If able still, and manage the pain in the heart
More than the agony in the flesh, not even
The apparent bright days ahead can create cheer.
It is the best possible ending-
Stay patient while counting days as the strength
Drains away like water from the lungs. It may
No longer matter who is around when deep sleep comes,
to never wake up again.
But we will all be here to welcome you back,
To give you the warmest hug on a most cheerful day.
