Adieu

We will spend hours a day wandering,
. . . . . . wondering why things change.
Hours and days spent wondering, wandering,
. . . . . . while nothing changes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Will we?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Let us!
. . . . . . . . . . . . Letters.
. . . . . . L
. . . . . . e
. . . . . . t
. . . . . . Those things that touch us,
. . . . . . let us not forget us.
. . . . . . Envelopes, email; educational experiences
. . . . . . Remind us; remember us.
. . . . . . Summer starts; school stops,
. . . . . . ends, endure the exit friends
. . . . . . like lovely lilacs lightly lifting
. . . . . . themselves, very victorious.
. . . . . . every
. . . . . . other
. . . . . . year
. . . . . . brings return for reborn memories.

We will change.
. . . . . . While hours and days wander.
. . . . . . . . . . . . Wonder nothing. Why?
Let us spend
Time
together and forever.
