Another Adventure

Another Adventure

My time is near for another adventure -

One where my life should have meant something.

I feel the sun on my face as I

Watch it set for me; possibly

one last time.

I hope I still have time to do so

Many things I haven’t done yet.

The backpacking across Europe remains

On my list.

I wish I could still do that; with

Someone who would want to see

Europe too.

I think I want to spend a year

There exploring the space and nature.

Maybe I’ll paint the Italian sky -

You know the light is different there.

Maybe I’ll spend time at a Sicilian

Vineyard; learning how to grow grapes

And then learning how to make wine.

Maybe, I’ll create a label; leaving

Something of myself behind.

I would like to explore so many places

Like Stonehenge; the Louvre, Kensington

Palace and Westminster Abbey.

Maybe I’d take you; the you that is

Most important to me; the you that

Fills my soul with light.

Maybe I’ll leave this life as you hold

Me. We’ll be watching the Mediterranean

Sunset; with me cradled in your arms.

But, what will I be leaving? Have I

Made a difference? Will I be

Remembered after I’m gone?

Will you remember me?

I’ll remember you; the spark of life

That you’ve given me. I will

Cherish it and protect it.

I still have time.

I will leave my mark.
