I walk day to day
and watch each sunrise
glide from triumph to twilight.
I walk beneath the new moon.
I stop at each moment,
not once wishing for what I was, nor wondering who I’d be.
Nowhere is melancholy,
only wonder. Peace.
An understanding that what will be,
will be. It’s even funny.
All of it brings me joy,
even the fear of death-- the day the universe demands of me.
