farewell

That moment,
the way you looked,
I knew,
There was farewell in your eyes
Silently touched
wayward obsitnate strand,
falling on your face, as usual
and then pulled aside
with a silent cry inside
I know those were the last moments
of the valiant struggle,

Could I sharpen your weapons,
or give you the new ones
for your fight to the last
I watched silently
your going away
frozen in my total helplessness
