Done Dead Gone Good Bye - Marilyn Gail

Here we are
walking around like
it doesn’t even matter
Caught up in our faults
and formidably foiled
to the extent we can’t talk
or face ourselves
To let it all out
and be the version
we’re meant to without any fear
Better living out loud
and being proud of the trials
we’ve weathered over the years
gatherin’ strength
from the pain and the tears
In greed’s conquer no longer
offerin’ mind, body, soul
to contempt undercover
got one eye open that never closes
and a heart that dives to the pour
without regret
In any moment’s lingering feel
is another chance at Fortune’s Wheel
on to forging new frontiers
in kaleidoscopic colours
Done Dead Gone Good Bye
are those days of silent
and hidden desires
no more holding back
from living what’s really ours
Speaking forthright
forever at the fight
of making Love
the centre of a simple life
in truth’s paradise we rise
in value and honour
