It was winter …she could see the cold in its frosty glory settled on the scenery outside
the time had come
she opened the door and walked in the snow that evening right where the icy pond lay
and placed the small paper boat on the placid still surface , the little boat carried a small
piece of paper and on it were the words goodbye
good bye she said softly and turned back
At home , she blew out the candle in room
sleep came soundlessly and effortlessly that night
The next day was bright and cheery …the sun was shining brightly by now the pond would have melted…
She was ready for work and a new phase
Sam came out to greet her , she smiled Come she said lets work on that new project
and together they stepped outside
The Boat of her past had sailed away from her harbor
