Saying Goodbye

Phrase: The darkest hour is just before the dawn --> The darkest hour is before the brightest
Words used: Needle, voice, whir, mother, cloud

Four years later and I still hear your voice,

one thought of you and the record needle drops,

beginning to whir, then spin, playing memories around my mind.

I’m reminded of that dreaded phone call and the car ride I can’t remember,

and how sad your mother looked under the harsh florescent lights.

I wish I could have told you as you questioned,

that the darkest hour is before the brightest,

and the clouds would have faded if you had just waited a few.

It’s too late now and I can only hope

that you have found the peace you were looking for.
