My friend,
I wish I could
tell you
the meaning of life.
I wish I could
tell you
what all the
sages and ponderers,
mystics and religious types
have dribbled
over countless eons
of fruity effort,
and written
so impressively and stylishly
in dusty books
of profound importance.
But alas
all I can say
on this happy
sunny day
is look
at the sky
and see its blue,
drink in
its vivid light
and wonder
in this moment
about the uniqueness
of me and you
as two strange little mites
wondering on
this planet of flight.
Then have
a laugh and say,
“All I wish for
is today”,
sitting here
under a tree
with the sun
and sky
shining down
on me.
