"the First Day of Winter"
Walking down old familier streets
Paths....
On such a beautiful day
The first day of winter
Clear and serene
Gentle....
With a cool subtle breeze
After the rains, they have all gone away
White floating clouds, scattered amid the sky
Blue....
With its sunshine, piercing through the trees
Radiant; enchanting; like crowns of light
Down Echo Avenue I stroll, once again of course
Kimala, life, more....
Near the corner of Elizabeth
I suddenly stop and I turn
Looking back toward Pacifica
Reaching....
Trying to touch, what once was mine
The whistle of a train, begins to sound in the distance
And in that moment; this moment, for an instant
I feel the rush of love, flowing upon my heart!
I turn back around
And I look ahead....
And it hits me, it hits me
How wonderful; how amazing
Life, and all of its moments, its seasons, and its years
Because of others; because of "God"
How indiscribable....
