“Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone”
(with thanks to Richie Havens)
I so want to
wake up to a new beginning,
to see the sun and hear the birds with delight.
to see the sun and hear the birds with delight.
I don’t want
to dread each new morning,
constantly wishing away the days to the week’s end.
constantly wishing away the days to the week’s end.
I want days
of calm, hours of quiet pleasures or joyous diversions.
I want fun, fresh air, laughter, and long walks, hand in hand.
I want fun, fresh air, laughter, and long walks, hand in hand.
I want music,
theatre, books, and art.
I want to nap
with a dog, do the crossword puzzle in bed;
read into the night.
read into the night.
I want to
greet the dawn with coffee on a swing set,
want to close my eyes looking forward to what next I’ll see.
want to close my eyes looking forward to what next I’ll see.
I want time
for nothing.
Time to do as
I choose; unfilled moments with no plans or regrets.
I want to
choose my path, to walk the Labyrinth, to travel freely through my mind.
Freedom to determine
my own companions,
opt for my own desires; make my own choices.
opt for my own desires; make my own choices.
Chart my own
journey.
