Wise words for this beautiful morning in Hawaii whose blue skies and softly undulating palms are perfectly content without a single word to express their pleasure in just being.
How many more steps do I have
and should I take them carefully
as though measured and sure
to insure solid footing
.
How many more thoughts will I have
and should they be the same focus
as though perfecting the topic
to insure solid understanding
.
How many more lines will I write
and should they be written simply
as though to exhaust a subject
to insure I’ve spoken my piece
.
How many more days do I have
and should I live them same-ly
as though measured and sure
to insure the next
.
How many are there
there is no way to know
but I will accept each
as though it were the last
