A Surprising Feeling

There is a happiness that fills my heart
when thoughts of you fill my mind–
certain sunshine starts to shine
and my body seems to float away
amongst the clouds on a blue-sky
kind of day; feeling of laying
on top the ocean waves.

I’m here in the stars, sitting with the moon–
just a pen, paper and thoughts of you.

I’m on top the red wood trees,
on the lookout, searching for we.

And when I don’t see it, I finally see,
it isn’t you that is searching for me.
Because of this, there is no we, only
I and you– together we won't be.

But I still lay among these thick white clouds,
still listen to these crashing ocean waves
sitting in the sand, enjoying the day.

I still watch the moon with pen
and paper and thoughts of you–

write this poem down
in ink impermanent,
send it to those tree tops
for you
to one day find.
