Perpetuity

It's Enough
It's enough that you exist in this world
There is no lack of communication
There is no amount that can be misunderstood
There is no bad breath in the morning
There is no tick or nook
There is no scheduling issue
There is no candy you snuck
There is no friend who is too annoying
Or risk that you took
There is no amount of groveling
No title lost
There is no hair in the sink
There is no dish misplaced
There is no snoring too loud
There is no styling conflict
There is no distance
Or doubt
There is no day too rainy
Nor one too lit
There is no moment you could lose me
There is no shroud
There is nothing that will jump out here
Nothing that leaves and comes back around
There is no day I magically wake up
Unhappy to see you on solid ground
There is no chance or luck for someone else
There is no shoe or glove that better fits
There is no story I'd rather have read aloud
There is no other path I'd take that didn't lead me here
Nor sacrifice I wouldn't have made
There is no other wayward wind I'd choose to sail
But the one that brought me near
There is no direction change
Where I don't support you dear
I only ask that you continue to exist in this world
It seems at times to be so frail
Caught in a delicate balance
Between those who hope and the naysayer
You are a light
Just bright enough
It can be seen across the sea
A docking place for those lost, and
For those who would otherwise be
A place of curiosity
Cavernous and rough
A place to come together
To build cool stuff
There is no greater creation
There is no bird, or rock
There is no other fire, nor warmth
You will always be enough

Most Days
Most days I forget all that I've lost.
It is only in the daily interactions with others
That I have moments I recall what all is missing;
Mostly this comes as a shock. "Look at all that I once had!?"
None of which I was all that deserving.
All of which I worked so hard to acquire and invest
Was but life's blessings.
Not everyone's hard work pays off, I was lucky.
And perhaps now I am not.
But
Most days I forget all that I have lost.
I feel full and free and eager and ready
There seems to me so much more in life than I was imagining.
I think of love especially.
I think of friendship and of family.
I think that perhaps what I lost was really not for me.
That it is what now lays ahead
That which I cannot fully see
Of which life is customizing an opulent thanksgiving.
None of which I will be all that deserving.
All of which I will continue to work hard to acquire and invest
Will be but life's blessings.
Not everyone's hard work pays off, I'd be so lucky
And perhaps be able to share all that I've got.
But
Most days I forget all that there is yet still to lose
I feel like time will run out not
There always seems to be more of it with each tick and tock
No deadline too important to push off
I wonder if the sense of urgency will ever come about
And then I remember life's blessings
All of those I've lost,
All of which I have,
All of the possibilities left within each day still had.
And perhaps most importantly,
The significance of my actions, being most important
After my death

Bigger Than Us
Whether it is bread crumbs or pebbling
I find myself sustained, walking on solid ground
My heart unwavering,
Even when my head is not always able to wrap itself around
I find no reason, no need, to reason with myself
In life it is our motivations that move us -
to higher ground
A longing for love is not fruitless,
Even unrequited I am fulfilled
The state of being is enough -
to leave one vying for beauty, brilliance, and sound
Inspiring the master to craft and leader to pick up their staff
Love is a many splendid thing,
With which you can do most anything
The pure of heart and imaginative minds
Lifting the spirit of our human kind,
Planting seeds from the Divine -
for a future full and lasting for all of time
