X.

It has been commonly said, that
Life is all about farewells
And about learning to let things go.
However, as I watch London fade away
Into the distance, full of those dreams
That I yearn to make come true,
I realise how wrong that statement is
And how useless it proves to be,
When what I am leaving behind me
Is what I recognise as life itself,
Burning down into beautiful ashes
Of blue and black and charcoal grey.
