Reason for Being

Reason For Being
(Dedicated to loved ones lost... John,
Mom and Dad, Donald and EJ, Mom and
Dad B., Donna, Buddy, Mike, Cindy, Renee...
so many others.. I'll always remember)
I think of you when night lies still
and stars are breathless, when time
has fallen into place, each second
aware of its moment, its reason for
being... I think of you when sun is
rising and when it loses itself behind
twilight's horizon, when clouds chase
each other in a never-ending race, or
when the sky is like blue glass, clear,
unblemished... I think of you when
colors fade into the silence of a rainbow,
when the taste of rain is fresh and new,
and I think of you when I least expect
it, when your memory nudges me to
simply be, to live and to love, to remember
that every breath I take is no more or less
important than the last or the next...each
has its moment, its reason for being....
and here I find myself again....
here... where time has fallen into place.
