Getting Ready for Burning Man 2018
Under hot desert skies,
I’ll renew our good-byes.
Each sorrow in turn,
In the fire they’ll burn.
“I’ll live for today.”
“No regrets” I will say.
You still will be free,
Yet not forget me.
And remember my dear,
I will always be here.
In a dream I will dwell,
In the past very well.
A year has gone by
I look back with a sigh;
with love and with joy,
no longer so coy.
Life’s all the same,
It is not about pain.
It is peace that I seek.
“Be strong!” (Hide the weak.)
So each year I’ll return
To the fire and burn.
And renew my good-byes
Under hot desert skies.
