Under a blue moon, 
a cuckoo
gives an agonizing call.

Silhouette of a figure eight
Promenading through the door

Derailed if dwell on the details 
Will we forfeit all our advances?

Easy to get singularly focused 
On second guessing decisions 
Better to not ruminate on regrets
Since the past has no revisions 

Power in pivoting to the present 
As a new path has been charted 
Final destination still unknown
But in a better place than we started...

Water milk warm
Honey sand so light
The breeze so soothing
Misty air sunshine filled
And your smile is more than just sweet

I am with myself
With seagulls near me
Lost sailors whispering
The sound of waves very calming
And pine trees pivoting in the sea

An escape of a thought
In this domain of freedom
