4-23-24. My favorite song, "Let It Be" by the Beatles
The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,
The many places I have been And countless faces I have seen, The many tales to be told, Into the universe, they unfold. It’s all a passing show,
Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart
Ambition seems overrated at this time of life, effort seems more like strife. In my youth I was motivated by a hungry desire
If I had all the time In the world To write, What would I say? What would be the most
When I grow really old I may have to do yoga Full time, to get out The aches and creaks. When I grow really old
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
Sometimes wonder about a star, way afar. How life might be in outer space,
There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds,
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
Looking at my journal’s Blank page While geese fly by and honk A greeting. The red cardinals
Half a world away, I walk a narrow, stone path. In the rice fields, the Balinese people
On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,
