And sometimes just
Maybe you get
A second chance
Not a chance
Per ce not
A do over
Not a mulligan
But maybe a
Refresh taking stock
To what’s important
Things come and
Go and come
And go but
Some things are
Constant and consistent
Like your shivering
Or me lighting
Your cigarettes or
The sun and
Moon or your
Kindness and all
The silly things
That we do
Refreshing aren’t they
The most amazing
Thing about the
Unknown is possibility
The future is
Bright as opposed
To dark because
We often live
In darkness and
Consequently are blinded
By the futures
Brightness brightness does
Cause temporary blindness
Until you once
Again get used
To light come
With me my
Friends out of
The cave and
Back into light
Trust me we
Live in a
Wonderfully marvelous world
Not talking to
You is the
Same as talking
Because I can
Hear your silent
Voice I’ve heard
It when you’ve
Kissed me and
In your sleep
We may never
Speak again but
Please understand that
I hear you
In your silence
When someone that
You love has
A loved one
That is ill
That sickness belongs
To you too
It shows up
As tearful heartache
And gleefully glorious
Memories about so
Long ago he
Was just as
Caring to me
Even though he
Is your father
Steven I simply
Borrowed him then
When you return
To restart the
Most amazing thing
Happens you remember
Those delicate moments
Deep in thought
Surrounded by fall
And water and
Fowl to go
Back isn’t surrender
It is acceptance
To the things
That you lost
