Is this the secret to life
How does one accomplish
This - I suppose lack of
Expectations is the first
Acceptance the next when
You said no to the beach
With me that weekend I
Learned and finally under
stood - it was
The seeing of the ocean
A good meal and singing
Along to my favorite song
I knew I would see you
Again - the difference was
My assumption of life had
Shifted as easily as the sand
Death in its many forms -
A gathering of time & space
A triumphant smile of self
Of existence in a blue sky
