Saying Goodbye

How does one do this?

Do you simply turn your back on whatever you wish to not see or do and walk away?

Do you consider the feelings of the others involved?

Do I simply throw effigies of these things into a bonfire while dancing with wild abandon?

The flames engulfing and devouring my life?

Bits and pieces of it floating into the clouds?

Will my words, thoughts and deeds be spread to the heavens and beyond?

Will those who I have left behind, understand?

Accept?

Or will they, in turn, burn me in effigy?

And then walk away?

The ashes of what was me, to them, floating away to heaven?
