Making Choices

The fork in the road was unmarked,
untraveled, taking the chance,
that's the path I took,
it's not for me to know where the other path went,
we live with our choices,
regret not for making them,
regret is for not making them,
and living in the world of what if...

We change forms

We change forms
become new illusions
to ourselves and others
over years...
so many shapes we take
that we often forget
just who we are...

In the wilderness

In the wilderness I still hear his voice,
carried on the river and streams of my years,
borne from the spring rains of my tears,
parted by force, more destiny than choice,
so innocent our hearts, love trumped fears,
our moment in the sun so bright, so right...
so blow wind, carry away my memories,
let this moment pass like day to night...

Unspoken

I don't say
I love you
anymore
I'm afraid it might
slip beyond my sigh
too soon
awakening to the sound
of my voice
before
it's time to go...

Quality of life

Quality of life is equally, no, actually more important than length.  Each day that we're alive and well is a blessing not to be taken for granted, a lesson lost on our young.

But youth has the luxury of foolishness, for it is through aging that we gain perspective, learn what's truly important, and hopefully make the world the better for it.

Let us bestow the quality of our love upon our family and friends.
