my – is –

this – moment;

all i need,

and all im guaranteed –

you may choose another agenda –

fill your days,

your – moments –

with – what if…

but -i,

i choose – acceptance,

gratitude,

appreciation –

each breath –

each moment –

sweet gift of life –

amazing!

take this moment,

for what it’s worth –

merely a drop of water

in a vast ocean of time…

and even now –

as we ponder our existence,

the moment is gone…

a hurried good-bye –

a hand outstretched,

not taken –

insignificant?

while we consume ourselves

with – what if –

what is – fades away!

i enjoy you –
as much as great,
as deep as sky…

i drink you in,
submerge myself
in your smile –
lose my way,
in the deepness of your eyes!

time stands still,
when i’m with you –
reality redefined –
you speak my name,
and worlds collide…

how can i sleep,
dare close my eyes and find you gone when waking?
this fragile heart would surely break
if suddenly alone,
detached…

without you,
i would simply cease to be…

greater than want,
you are,
so much more than necessary!

things unneeded fill our days –

like possibly,

perhaps,

maybe…

how often do we put aside

what matters,

holding our breath –

clenching our hands,

expecting even Atlas to shrug –

for what?

a hand we feel compelled to hold?

replies to questions – unheard?

as callous as forget,

intangible as why –

we build our lives on

could,

should –

then wonder what went wrong

when trapped in lonely –

unremembered as even midnight

by pompous dawn!

age –

simply defined;

a collection of years,

or perhaps –

seasons.

society puts up fences –

youth here,

old age there,

either, or…

i find my place neither

in, nor out –

and so i sit upon the fence –

dangling my feet,

and my heart,

in both pastures.

possibly

sits on the couch with

his good friend –

could be –

together they –

oh so carefully –

plan-

nothing…

and somewhere on the other side of –

what could be –

sunrise, 

regardless stands watch –

(the world ever so surely continues to turn)…

i understand the 

feeling of a rose –

blooming –

the sheer exuberance 

of life;

exaltation –

joy unparalleled –

simply – living –

most awesome of all experiences!
