Goodbye July

Goodbye July
A fitting farewell to July was the sight of our Flag
Flying in the breeze at sunset tonight.

 

 

The days of July are coming to a close,
We have come to the end of its last day.
The sun has set on another month.
Summer is quickly running away…

NaPoWriMo 2013, #6–Farewell

Today I said farewell to my past
as
I watched memories burn in a fiery blaze and rise to the sky.

I said “Goodbye”
To letters,  notes, and photographs,
As they went  up in flame.

A pile of gray black ash is all to remain
of
things saved and collected for years.

All is now gone and I with eyes full of tears
Look around me and feel free.
