"Having Farewell"
We listened to the rain beat the trees,
And at each clap of thunder,
We clung together on the porch swing.
Each time that flicker appeared across his white face,
I could grasp all of the thoughts running through his mind;
They were tangible for a moment.
Just an instant inside of those eyes,
Red but tearless, and I knew the world.
The block without the street lamp took eternity to reach.
But we wandered straight into the darkness,
Where true eternity absorbed into the body of our experience.

This scene reminds me of when Jack has to leave Anne Stanton for college. Interesting connection. Good work. Some nice use of color imagery here with red and white. - mrs. elmeer
