Like a rainbow in the sky
It will vanish in time
Just walk away like it was any other day
Take nothing with you but the smile on your face
Do not look behind you, look straight ahead
Where you will go, let it be your surprise
Let the wind give you momentum
Disappear
Without a Trace

Just walk away indeed, without leaving a trace. Nicely Done Susan.
Lovely, Susan
Disappearing without a trace is my aspiration.
Such a beautiful poem!
Amazing lines @Susan Payton
This poem packed a punch (like all your poems). Loved it, and well-written, Susan! ❤️
I just had that same thought, but you beat me to it. That the easiest way to do it.
