Ticks clicks
and such
these moments
these seconds
often missed
and mistakened
mean more
to me
than any
grand gesture
for they
not those
are my
twinkles seen
notes heard
sighs felt
loves kept

I have enjoyed a
great life filled with
adventure and many opportunities
I have felt loved
and I have given
love and I have
laughed
not just at things
or at others or
at other’s things but
at myself as well
And now as I
sit in this my
last phase of life
I spend most time
in front of the
mirror and reflecting most
upon my wrinkles for
it is within them
where I can see
all of the others
who’ve walked with me
I’veLearnedThis
Anything good worth
Having requires sacrifice
Because without it
It’s simply commonplace
Don’t waste time
In your chase
For having everything
But rather place
Your sights on
Less is nice
And usually more
LettingGoes
Life is a series
Of let goes of
Growing up and growing
Out and growing beyond
Leaving things whether friends
Or beloved friends or
Even more than that
Stings but imagine being
A tree imagine watching
The most beautiful part
Of yourself that thing
That made you Tree
Turn and blow away
We all are just
Trees remaining strong despite
All those letting goes
Breakup
You can’t sleep under
Wet blankets they’ll chill
You to the bone
It’s best to sleep
Naked then to have
The heaviness of earth
Squeezing out the warmth
