Ever?
Ever wanted to go on the ride of your life?
Sail the oceans and just look up at the stars. Feel the breeze on your face and swear that life isn’t chance.
Ever wanted to hold your lover’s hand?
And feel the tingle in your gut climb to an alarming warmth. Then you know the feeling will never end.
Ever cried your eyes out?
Then was taken aback at the clearness that followed, how the emotions cleared, and what was really left after all that you’d released.
Ever wanted more?
Then shoved your face with the opportunity only to have it explode at the first change. The blood was fresh on your lips.
Ever memorized the color of her eyes?
And swore you’d never forget. Even in old age past the dementia, past the Alzheimer’s, and the disabling arthritis, just like you swore you’d never leave her.
Ever tried to comprehend the universe’s tales?
Only to have them fold and crumble and fall before. Your mouth hang open in shock as you wonder what’s next.
Ever wondered what you should write next?
I am right now.
