Pretty Microscopic Mergers

damona, look at where we are
you seem to know
have you been here before
the way that your eyes are lighting up, i think i have my answer
i just laugh as the waves crash saying hello to us
i thank God that you found me

i think of my mother now
she died of colon cancer with her mouth open still trying to fight
the last time i saw her there was something about the smile on her face
question marks are sea gulls as summertime snowflakes
damona yelps me out of my reverie and quiet thought

as we walk on the empty beach
i think about how malnourished damona was and the message God sent me
i went on about the lost material items
i cried about the money that i wished that i still had
i cursed everyone without knowing that i was actually doing so
however, they are living their lives and celebrating their better choices

damona is showing signs of hunger and thirst like me
i reach into my bag and prepare our brunch and water
partially satisfied, we walk on while saying hello to the sun
we discover right then and there what we both took for granted
we sit still and embrace our Blessings, which now consists of many merged little things
