4-23-24. My favorite song, "Let It Be" by the Beatles
Twilight slides in quietly as birds fly to warm nests. Pink hues of evening reflect in the clouds. Soon the moon
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,
There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
If I had all the time In the world To write, What would I say? What would be the most
When I sit And watch The in and out Of breath, Thoughts no longer
As I age this last quarter of my life, I am fading into the background. As I let go of roles,
If we could embrace our sorrow and surf on our tears, surely our hearts would grow wider to hold the years
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,
