overwhelmed by sheer joy, and utter fear.
saying hello to new beginnings,
looking back at past goodbyes.
sitting in deafening silence,
no words to be spoken to.
how we marched in together,
now I leave and let go as I.
flying off to a new nest, safe haven,
for all the ones I love, so dear.
whilst I close the last door,
one ghost stares me ruthless in the heart.
will there ever be,
strong armour to carry me home,
honest eyes to love me near.
