there

i am here

i want to be there

someplace else

a landscape in my third eye

yet it is also a heart thing

i want a softer view

oh the misery

surrounds me here

there is however

undoubtedly a place

just for me

where i don’t have to be

on the inside

looking out

but rather blend

with everything beautiful

surrounding me

i will become

a part of the tapestry

the divine made for me

out of stars and dust

sacred ground

tweaked

with colorful brushstrokes

i am only a guest here

on earth

spinning through the universe

my life a visit

i want to touch creation everyday

hold it in my hands

ever so gently

the love of a lifetime

right here

yet not here

a sanctuary

a life to author my own

immersed in miracles

i want to live in awe

my idea of luxury

winter skies

barren trees

the daffodils

break into spring

to call it all

my own

my home

and know

that i'm a part

of all of it

the mystery

and dear god

let me say

the pleasure

is certainly all mine
