The papers signed, the chapter’s ink now dry,
A peaceful breeze where once a storm had roared,
No longer bound by ties that held too tight,
But freed, like a bird released into the blue.
The house, once heavy with the weight of time,
Now breathes anew, its walls a canvas bright,
The echoes of the past, like gentle waves,
Recede, making way for songs unsung.

No victor here, just a soul who’s grown,
The path that once was straight now softly curves,
And in this parting, seeds of joy take root,
A garden waits to bloom beneath the sun.
I walk as a branch of a common tree,
Once intertwined, now reaching toward the light,
Seeking skies that promise brighter days,
A testament to life’s enduring strength.

The wounds will heal, like earth refreshed by rain,
The scars, like rivers, carve their tales in stone,
And though the river’s course may twist and turn,
Its journey knows the sea’s vast, welcoming arms.
My heart, like a ship once anchored at the shore,
Now sails on different winds to distant lands,
Yet carries with it warmth of shared embrace,
The harbor where I found my steady ground.

So here I stand at life’s unfolding gate,
Not an enemy, but a star that shines apart,
The end of what was ‘we’ begins the ‘I’,
A chapter closed, but dawn still paints the world.
The sun, it rises on a landscape bright,
Where shadows once held sway, now light breaks free,
And in that light, I find a separate path,
Yet know the night will come, and stars will guide.

No bitter words, just echoes filled with peace,
Like whispers in the trees that line my way,
The leaves, they fall, but in their fall, they dance,
A graceful end that feeds the earth below.
The seasons turn, and so my life will too,
From winter’s rest to spring’s awaited bloom,
And in the cycle, I will find my joy,
A rhythm that sustains, through all the change.

So I depart as one who’s learned and grown,
The journey’s joy is found in every step,
And though my road now leads to different skies,
It still connects through memories, through love.
I walk into the future, heart alight,
With hope as bright as stars in evening’s glow,
The end of one small tale, the start of more,
For life goes on, and I am free to soar.

No chains, no bounds, just open, endless skies,
Where once was ‘we’ now ‘I’ begins to rise,
A flight of one soul seeking what is true,
And in that seeking, find the light anew.
