let us...

let's not say goodbye
or until later
or anything
at all
let's have the silence
speak the truth
in a whisper
instead
let's lean in close
and hear it
reverberate
off the rocks
and crash down
violently
against
itself
let's look away
as it fragments
into a million pieces
and tell ourselves
there is no other way
let's admire
the beauty
before the destruction
and close our hearts
to the cries
and maybe
just maybe
light will burst forth
out of the darkness
and we will again
see...
