I Will Watch the Sunrise and the Moon Set

I will watch the sunrise and the moon set I will taste oysters and reap mint I will harvest vegetables from the farm stand I will live as an orphan adopted finding joy in rain and in snow I will walk on many often peat-ed paths my paths are dune bound and stretch to a salted dark pea green sea The songs of gulls and osprey decorate the sky inner ear re-peating long after they are flown I tiptoe where the plovers nest challenges come seem insurmountable and then flow away ....on the trivial tides My heart is broken today Tomorrow I will learn to worry only when asleep I will ask humbly for acceptance of the hard and cold .......like those 4 nails embrace the bloom...but adore the fall When the sun sets early I will adjust my internal organs wooing them I will rejoice more having understood darkness's seasonal game So when spring next year kisses me full on my pale waning lips driving me closer to the close of my life I remember that you loved me I will remember that I loved you I will not argue that we are not together I will not rage against the almighty machine behind the soft flowing velvet curtain I will not ask why I can't have everything I want! Before beautiful heartbreak was dark chocolate's burning bitterness fraught with the bows and ties flaming storms of mental confusion and conflagrations of desire I no longer hold onto loss You will die and there's nothing I can do about it I will keep walking down these -bike tire and flip flop rutted paths scanning the horizon for boardwalks ...that stretch out into the sea What a gift it is to walk out deep past the cresting wave breaks Without fear Without sorrow Without regret Trusting the current to take me gently... insistently into the bliss
