migrant, writer, work in progress
I followed a path
thinking that it led somewhere
but it’s ended here—
*
It isn’t the road
not taken so much as the
untakeable road—
*
Follow my advice:
don’t follow a path—choose the
made up, pathless ways.

with apologies to robert frost’s road not taken
– the poem is based on a meditation of Philippe de Saint Maurice
days shrink, night e x p a n d s –
light and warmth of close kind friends
make love more intense.

open your eyes, love –
begin the unending day
of beautiful play:
*
ripeness of moments
fall into your lap like fruits
of bliss from the tree –
*
song and carefree smiles
wrap you in the warmth of love,
forever happy
*
together with those
whose arms hold you close and safe
wherever you are
*
and when your eyes close
may you see beautiful dreams
and wake to fresh dawn
*
whoever you be
come in your unending day
of beautiful play.
