sometimes.

I wonder what life will be like when I’m older.
much older.

I ponder a walk in 80-year-old shoes.
and see the world knowing time is short.

I consider how I’ve wasted so much time.
thinking and pondering of what could have been.

I see the beauty in life.
sometimes the beauty in you.

I am happy to be alive, just breathing and living for today.
others I’m living far in advance, wasting what I have.

I feel regretful over the past and what I’ve done.
maybe is all I can say to learning.

I think of retirement and wonder what is retired.
will I have the power to enjoy.

I like myself, alone with a house of music.
and yet I’m still alone.

I see you for what you are.
and I still love you.

I want to run away, but the islands are as far as I go.
even aloha isn’t all-that.

I just smile and feel the love.
and too often I carry on when it’s not needed.

I see the rainbow.
with your eyes.

sometimes.
