Goodbye forever

It’s so hard to say “goodbye”
Forever…
It’s so hard to walk away
Apart…
When there is a connection built
So ever
In mountains that deeply touch
Your heart.

We strangers were,
We cared all for something,
We rushed in circles
Trying to complete…
But now if been bounded together
By power that neither one can see.

Nepal’s the one
That joined us,
All united,
Gave new ideas,
Thoughts,
New stream of life.
And being hugged
In his severe, harmless
And unforgettably so
Hospitable arms,
We found, each,
Our own piece
That’ll stay:

The “dragon flight”,
The trails,
Massive ridges,
The glaciers on tops of highest peaks,
The horn of monks,
Their chanting that enriches,
And monasteries’ sights
From distant cliffs.
Variety of plants,
And boiling rivers,
And Buddha’s eyes
That watch you day and night…
We all are blessed
By land that’s such a giver,
By land that us united so tight.

And now what?
The necklace cut to pieces…
We’ll all return to the familiar ways
But love will stay
In some our deeper feelings
Us giving strength to live,
                to give,
                to pray…

Nepal,
