Fare Thee Well - Anaphora Form
No longer will I search the stars for that bright
shooting star that bursts like a rocket through
the cobalt sky, exclaiming our love.
No longer will you hold me in your warm arms.
No longer will dawn steal my breath as twilight
softly fades into a lavender sky.
No longer will my heart take flight with
birds on the wing.
No longer will I sing songs with the sea.
No longer will there be four foot prints in the sand.
No longer will your laugh make me laugh too.
No longer will I enjoy food prepared by
your sweet hands.
No longer will I feel cloaked by your love,
protected by your presence, or safe when alone.
No longer will you be by my side.
No longer, no longer—
No longer will I feel sorry for myself,
but happy for you.
Fare thee well my love.
Fare thee well.
Connie Marcum Wong
