Final Goodbye

[Shattered]

Watching the stars
fade from the sky,
the leaves falling down,
the robin's last cry,
the grass turning brown,
A quietly uttered sigh.
The hardest part
of watching something die,
is whispering softly
the final "goodbye".

That's good.

It's hard to say "goodbye" to autumn, too.

Excellent!
And this is so true...

The hardest part
of watching something die,
is whispering softly
the final "goodbye".

It was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do in my life.

When I first started reading your post, I thought you were going in the direction of how sad it is to see autumn pass (time of year when many people experience seasonal depression and suffer sadness that winter is approaching). The death of anything is lamented, whether it is for a season, a romance, a pet, a person, etc. Evidently, my impression of your writing was not in sync with yours.

Ok.. Got it.. It wasn't about autumn, but I can see where one would think that.. I spend a lot of time outside..

Is that about your cat?

Among other things.
