Goodbye August 14, 2024 A realized soul, self fades away, The spirit seeks no pride to sway, The sage stands free from fame’s acclaim, In wisdom’s light, untouched by name. In fleeting hours, moments torn, Some gently slip, some swiftly worn, But worst of all, with shame’s deep gloss, Is time we lose through careless loss. Goodbye to the stage where shadows play, No fear to chase, no need to stay, The path I seek, untouched, unbound, Where joy and peace are truly found. 1
