ALOHA JACQUELINE

Someday

by Aloha Jacqueline

Someday,

I will no longer

Be here.

No longer be able

To see a sunrise

To feel the caress

Of water or wind on my skin

Or the pleasure

Of hugging a loved one

Someday I will no longer

Be able to enjoy

The simple pleasure

Of a heavenly meal

The scent of pouring rain

Or the silence

and sounds

and songs of nature.

 

So,

While I am here

Can I really be here?

Before I go

What will I make

Of this wild

Wonderful

Uncertain life?

Can I allow myself

To feel?

To really feel?

To really live?

To really love?

If not,

What am I doing here?

Beyond

Eating

Sleeping

Working

Cleaning

Over and over

And over again.

A cycle of habits and repetition?

Or can I pause

And take this moment

To embrace

To taste

To relish

The beauty of now

Of each experience

The sweetness

And bitterness

Of grieving

Of loving

Of longing

Of living?

What will I do

What will I say

What will I leave

Before I go?

What will you?
