Uriah Hamilton - Permanent Goodbyes

Relaxation breath
The prayerful dawn,
Dreams return
To the ether
And leave reality behind.

I toast dusty memories
With a smooth beer at dusk,
I try to discover
My lost child-like charm
And heart of trust.

It is wonderful to come home
And not cry,
But I know,
There will be long departures
And permanent goodbyes.

Uriah Hamilton
