I longed for this
an embrace a kiss
that warm sunlight
oh what a sight!
its golden hue
And the morning dew
on this old big tree
what a sight to see!
As I watched it close
felt alive I suppose
Took a long deep breath
& pondered over death
Not with sadness though
Neither fear or so
Pure presence and still
‘in the moment’, if u will
Death made me realise
we let moments capsize
by our pasts and sorrows
or worry-filled tomorrows
With eyes then sodden
felt joy long forgotten
sensed a new dream knock
I let the dead leaves drop…
