i'll say hello and goodbye to the sunrise;

i'll say hello and goodbye to the sunrise
as it rises from the east
from georgia to california
each and every day
year after year
until the star burns itself out.
i'll say hello and goodbye to the clouds in july
as they dot the horizon with their illusionary figures
watching them drift lazily across the sky
being functionally defunt
until they darken with rain
and let out their king of the jungle thunder.
i'll say hello and goodbye to the demons of my dreams
each and every night
until the light is bestowed upon them
when they will cringe and shriek in fear
until their voices are no more
and i am granted my freedom.
