We took leave sadly
With bags chock-full of sweetest memories
Of loving madly
And sure that you and I were meant to be.
We burned so badly
With deep desire for our destiny.
Succeeding gladly,
We went down swinging, then we rose up, free!

Usually I have too many words – that is, more than 44, and have to pair them down. This time I had 42 and had to conjure UP more! 🙂

Oh, this bumps along in such a lovely fashion. So much rhythm and hope to be found here.
Nice last line.
So long as you rose up free, better for the ride!
sweetness, bumps, flight, sounds like an adventuresome ride
It’s an upward climb but, oh, the view from the top!
Oh as long as you find such an end it’s all fine I think.
All is well that ends well I guess!! ❤️
Lots of twists and turns in life, but to rise up free at the end is good.
Love this. Beautiful writing. Thank you so much.
