The day was raw and grey as was my mind
The leaves had fallen from the trees leaving just their spines
I walked in silence in the expanding gloom
Instead of feeling sad, I felt ensconced in a wombI realize I will one day die
That this life will pass me by
The smell of a moment transports me there
To a bittersweet child longing to share
I don’t know what life has in store
I only know I want so much more
Don’t waste my time with belief or mythic truth
There is so much right here to feel and do
I’m lucky to spend my hours living with you
Using our eyes, ears, hands and voices to imbue
I realize I will one day die
That this life will soon pass me by
The song of an owl its mournful cry
Sense tingles thru my flesh both calm and wild
I don’t know what will come on next
But I’ll treat all life with respect
Memories give me history fill my life at its core
Memories help me build my nest are my shelter and floor
Holding you is like glistening gold makes me glad to be getting older
Each day my heart fills up, warms my insides
One day my heart will explode……… and I will die
One day I will overload…….. and I will die
One day I will drown in love…….. and I will die
