POEM - Sun Valley Dr

Look around you

This is where the rainbow begins;

where my son and his friends frolic

Oh, and by the way, I’ve been

quietly in love with you for years

  

Have some water

Don’t be like my daughter, forgetting

to hydrate while on these walks

Believe me, I wish that my heart felt

most anything other than infinity for you

  

Come, sit with me

It’s unfair how so much time flies

before we’re able to recognize its breaking wings

At the very least, 12 hours from now, I won’t be

back to fearing death leaving the thought of us

unspoken

Want some trail mix?

Summer in Texas may as well be a sauna in hell

when there’s not a swim area around

Make no mistake, whatever I’ve projected onto you

doesn’t do the heavy lifting here

  

Eyes up

It baffles me that most folks will see something

in a cloud faster than they do in each other

Even before all of the trauma and tragedy,

your energy’s been like a menagerie of reasons

to hope for a better tomorrow

  

Let’s get going

The morning’s not quite over yet,

and we (somehow) have nothing to fret about…

for now

Seriously though, insofar as my life is concerned,

you really are what was missing
