Blaze across the sky
orange blinding in its brilliance
Shout your closing remarks
in unmistakable vibrance
Let your departure be known
by your legacy of beauty
As the hues of your goodbye
blend softly into pinks
That glide blushing into
a waiting bed of violet
The gentle touch of
your whispered affections
Wraps close around a
drowsy earth’s shoulders
And you take your leave
with echoes of peace
