Life

Kernels of wisdom

to chew or spit.

We die a little every day

I tell you.

The migraine invades the night

and robs me of my sleep.

New York is waiting,

a carriage ride in Central park,

a sandwich at the deli,

cheesecake at the Plaza.

I choose not to linger in thoughts 

of tomorrow,

getting old,

dying.

I want to soak in today

Tomorrow is not promised,

fragments of us,

half conversations.

Words withheld,

dreams I must contain

while my soul longs 

for the moment.

Abandon my words,

abandon my wishes.

I turn the light on within,

the moths of my soul linger feasting.

Unclutter my mind,

drink from my well,

captivated by the light

and this dance called life.

Squeeze the nectar,

taste,

savor

tomorrow may never come.




I celebrated my birthday Sunday and I wrote this one night at 4 A.M while a migraine kept me company. Today is also my three year blog anniversary. 

Three years ago today I began "A Sun Kissed Life". I was broken after losing both my parents. This blog brought me salvation and took me on a journey that I never imagined possible. I found a community of thinkers, poets, bloggers, writers that have become friends. Their words and support shined a light inside me. Thousands of comments later, I feel blessed and I want to say, "thank you" . I wanted to quit a couple of times and your support and love carried me to a better place. I will always be grateful.

Thank you.
