Limitless
Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it
will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that
terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we
get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a
certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more
times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some
afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even
conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more.
Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise?
Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”

Goosebumps
Cold air
Something unknown
...
Play me the songs that make the stars dance.
The sky a little clearer
A suit made for space and a place to snuggle - vast open plains.
In the silence, I hear a gentle hum
There is is again - Goosebumps
A step - forward ? or is it up?
starlight refracts - bounces and then stops.
My skin absorbing the energy of stars.
Older than time - and older than the planet - here it rests in me.

The Pivot
The road ahead is predicable
Its bumps and knocks expected...
Almost 15 years ...
A path well-worn,
but heavy steps grow slower.
Change whispers.
A small smile grows larger —
a call.
Step.
Pause.
Step.
The horizon
widens.
My Breath returns.
