12/11/2023 – a haiku
I want to smell salt
Feel hot sand between my toes
And smile at the sun

I yearn for things beyond my time and place
Where wonder marked the mind of every man
Where stars and oceans made the great unknown
Horizons each a promise of beyond
12/1/2023 – that I might
Give me the sun
That I might see
Give me the moon
That I might howl
Give me the stars
That I might wonder
Give me the cosmos
That I might be
