One tree burns like a torch behind your head. <br />The wind blows keenly through the words you said. <br />The iron gray elegance of sky is sad. <br />I tried to reach you but the light was bad. <br />The katydids are singing summer's end. <br />Good-bye is such a simple sound, my friend. <br />Quite suddenly I see why cold is blue. <br />Someone is crying. Is it me, or you? <br /> <br />Previously published, Auraq, Pakistan<br /><br />Sandra Fowler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/good-bye-is-such-a-simple-sound/
