the view from 70 mountain
70 years wondering
who i am?
70 years seeing so much
suffering in this world
70 years asking
why?
i am & i am a part
of this wounded miracle
i ask the universe
to open my heart––
to open the heart
of the world
i ask the universe
to teach me to do good––
& to bless this goodness
as the purpose
of my life
what can be done
in this very lifetime
with gifts of caring &
kindness in search
of wisdom?
what can i do
to help end human
suffering &
nurture the harmony
of earth?
i am a b that
has found his
c
my life is love
& made of the love
of others
each day i rise
ready for the next
dawn
such beauty is
as timeless as
forever––
from my last breath here
to my next breath
elsewhere
