A Life Well Lived, Lived Well

Can you stack your chunks of memory, like me In tiered stacks of stories... free to see? Woven from far time to now, in soft open volumes bound Waiting for thoughts lost, but Wow... now together found. Oh, most take me back then, there, into seeing forward times Where I understand now, what’s yours... what’s mine. All that can be drank as fresh, versus aged fine wine Living wild again, renewed here... in such better climes. No more intense heat, the bitterest of cold No more living in the fear of... getting old Battles fought are for less, and better assigned To other’s intent, far away... from mine. For now, my choices are more wisely, peaceful made The yin and yang of things, invested in... and well paid And love’s all patched, and wrapped in queenly spades Under new wrapping, yet unopened... so then, better played. For one thing is sure, well yes, a perfect bet The best of the best is to come, aye... haven’t seen it yet. Bring any and all on, before me set I’ll laugh and cry knowing, already... what I’ll get. Another life lived, Time, let’s get it on While the chorus’s not finished, with this... my own Swan Song For I no longer fear what’s right, or wrong It all fits into a script, ages old... then dictated long. That script containing vast Universes, Multi-dimension’s, oh me, oh my Opened, no more needing a place to run... much less to hide and cry Free to explore much more, from any other side, and abide Seeing whole, from parts thought before... so far apart and wide. ___*___ So, if and when we meet again, say us each to other our fond hello’s No matter how high, or low… we go Know we now fields are well-chosen, for we both to better sow. We’re living, that life forgotten, this life... already known. And secrets shared here and there, now are to re-open Unwrapping gifts, that here, were never before... then so lively spoken. So we can laugh, and dance in peace, love well and sing And see life as it is as balanced, a most splendid... beautiful thing. For still, lessons lived, we’re here to completely learn As many as needed, to finish... our turn Into better trips and higher things, where there to See Finding who, when, and how we are... what we truly Be. Be... that’s it, the secret found... In what all is realized, that’s square, lined, and round No more to quibble... getting stern and eyebrow’s frowned Instead smiling so hard, we laugh in falling down. Into another further Time willed, to pass into again, so funny Letting go the games we’ve played here, for toys... and money. All leaving here and there, for others to pick up and squander As we did ourselves before, remembering our youth here, and back there yonder. To this Time we knew coming, yes... meant to here get Under New Moons, and Stars, and even Suns... that will set Wildly dancing through Times as these, we can now better See Living out our songs knowing, all this is free, to together gather... And just… Be.
