final farewell?

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way, oh.

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in gray,
And the sun will set for you...



Its dark, around here. With no sound. No hushing, no whispering of the wind, no arguments amongst the sleeping birds or those insects, just dead silence.
Its a cemetery. A memorial park, where the memories are buried.

There were many graves around, he realized. Other times, his curiosity would have pulled him to visit each one, and know more, try to visualize the time when these buried memories were alive. But not today.

So the visit was already decided?
He doesn’t know. He doesn’t want to know. He never wanted to come here. Not now.

But, you cannot keep them forever with urself. Move on. You have the whole journey in front of you, you will get tired in the way, its too heavy. Its not worth it? Leave them here, bury them here.


He is wondering if the same voice had spoken to all travelers who dug up here and buried the most precious.

He never wanted to part away, he never wanted to think that this place would ever come up in his journey. He looks up at the sky, he misses the absence of all the stars. They all got lost amidst the way somewhere.

Today is the fifth day after the full moon.
Still He can recognize the face on the sky. Face only half visible. Cannot decide whether it is smiling or frowning.

“As if it matters now?...”
It doesnt. period.
………..
