LifeIs

Today I write 
yesterday I thought
tomorrow I imagine
these are the
ingredients of life
life well lived
triumphs and tragedies
are our lives
checks and balances
one cannot have
one without the
other and a
successful life is
had when at
the end there’s
an eventual balance
setting soul free
to go home
wherever that is

Mantra

I have and always 
will embrace the idea
that life is to
be lived that the
present is far richer
than the past and
definitely the soil of
the future I believe
that today is more
important than tomorrow and
that the past is
history I implore you
remember yesterday imagine tomorrow
but live for today

MorningSherbet

The low eastern sun
is now painting downtown
the softest of orange
as though the buildings
have they themselves been
dipped into a puddle
of sherbet and sprinkled
with morning as though
Denver is on the
menu at Dairy Queen

IttyBittyPlace

Some things do return 
and some things don’t
it’s in that gap
that itty bitty place
where missing often happens
and this missing is
by far bigger than
the time spent together
I guess that there’s
something to be said
in just how we
remember things be them
better or for worse
for how we remember
wills just how big
that itty bitty place
does need to be

Imagined

If you only knew 
only knew how many
times I imagined you
imagining you with me
if you only knew
how I would hold
you how I did
hold you when I
imagined you if you
only knew then and
now I think about
then then when I
imagined you because now
I have and do
and even in my
wildest of imagining you
I never imagined you
to be like this
