lazing in the shadows
of the cedar tree
the cool mountain air
and the sun dappled parasol
a perfect moment in time
and
I wish for a wormhole
to travel back
into time
to a similar moment
with a younger me
snuggling in my mother’s lap
and dreaming
what the future will hold
the wrinkles
the crow feet
the laugh lines
each grey hair
I am in love with you
whatever age and time
for
I am in love
with your soul…. soulmate
sun spangled waves
heavy salted sea breeze
memories abound
no
i don’t permit you
to destroy
my peace of mind
for
I need to be sane
for my own sanity
hold on to life
and what it offers
for
it may cease to offer
anytime soon
it should happen
simultaneously
falling in love
together
falling out of love
together
it’s God’s gift
when you have good looks
and people love you
but
what about the beautiful soul
which is
always overlooked
