Another Adventure
The End of Everything
My time is near for another adventure -
One where my life should have meant something.
I feel the sun on my face as I
Watch it set for me; possibly
one last time.
I hope I still have time to do so
Many things I haven’t done yet.
The backpacking across Europe remains
On my list.
I wish I could still do that; with
Someone who would want to see
Europe too.
I think I want to spend a year
There exploring the space and nature.
Maybe I’ll paint the Italian sky -
You know the light is different there.
Maybe I’ll spend time at a Sicilian
Vineyard; learning how to grow grapes
And then learning how to make wine.
Maybe, I’ll create a label; leaving
Something of myself behind.
I would like to explore so many places
Like Stonehenge; the Louvre, Kensington
Palace and Westminster Abbey.
Maybe I’d take you; the you that is
Most important to me; the you that
Fills my soul with light.
Maybe I’ll leave this life as you hold
Me. We’ll be watching the Mediterranean
Sunset; with me cradled in your arms.
But, what will I be leaving? Have I
Made a difference? Will I be
Remembered after I’m gone?
Will you remember me?
I’ll remember you; the spark of life
That you’ve given me. I will
Cherish it and protect it.
I still have time.
I will leave my mark.
