Totemo Utsukushi Basho

If I were to end it,
pull the cord and douse the cabin lights for good,
it would be here at the high bluff 
salt tang in my hair blowing free to the lighthouse
the blue blue gem of the sea below
this is what I want, if I should ever choose to go
It does not mean I will
just that I might like it to be so

Such a Beautiful Place
