it was better to be blue
thinking of you
than making peace with
your absence, I never new
of the serenity that could be
having you without me
if I sought out life
if I smelled the trees
if I watered the flowers
if I nurtured the bees
if I swam in the ocean
if I felt the breeze
taking each moment in
living with you, within
my heart to show myself
when one life ends, one begins
