maybe we try too hard to be
remembered, waking to the
glowing yellow disc in ignorance,
swearing that today will be
the day, today we will make
something of our lives. what
if we are so busy searching
for worth that we miss the
sapphire sky and cackling
blackbird, what else is missing?
maybe our steps are too straight
and our paths too narrow and
not overlapping…

If one can hold onto the images of the sun radiating pinks and oranges across the sky, then perhaps we can let go of our own legacies for a bit…just perfect, Dave

What if, indeed? What if we do stray off that path we think is right and go onto the one that brings us joy…
And THAT is the punch line!
