just wanted to say ...hello

I just wanted to say hello
It was impossible to write the first "hello"
Impossible embrace the last good bye

Unthinkable it was that the book would have an end
Or the earth be shattered
Or the stars turn black
And the sun bleed to death , yearning to be the moon

Never did I think the incorruptible
The indestructible would be gone

That I'd be strong enough to swallow the scorpions of understanding whole

For peace of mind I fell into the well of reality with graceful reluctance
Boastful silence - was all I found solace in for summers on end it seemed

And today, in this fruitful time of winter
In the heat of the diplomatic friction

I just wanted to say hello
To a ghost
Because , "anything is possible"
If you want to free the mind

And I ...freed mine ...
