Goodbye for Now



I've set free my best, my finest now untamed,
Released her to the wild, to the terrains unnamed,
To you, O vast world, with humility I implore,
With kindness embrace her, she deserves more.

Crucify her not, like the innocent Christ of yore,
Whom you condemned in ignorance and uproar,
For God sent him not out of hatred, but boundless love,
Likewise, I send my sweetest with deep affection from above.

In greater glory than before, Christ with grace,
Returned to the Father's warm, loving embrace.
With love even sweeter, I hope in time and space,
My best will reunite with me, back to her rightful place.
