the person I wanted most to be
was happy only because God is real
is it possible there are stars?
to always be shocked by this
in a good way;
that I got to be here
for any amount of time
where, periodically there are flowers.
I didn't want to be famous
just to carry the feeling of home
with me like a turtle in its shell
living very well not in any kind of race
happy with the wind in the trees
just the thought of Space
the inconstant blue of streams and lakes
loving the earth and the air after Spring rains
the person I most wanted to be
would never grow tired of thunder
for how many things are a wonder
how wonder can never cease
grateful for time, for being
not asking for more
seeking the light in even small things
knowing it is there.
