Near The Seaside In My Seventies Poem by David L Falcon

Near the seaside in my seventies

In the days I have left
I'll send my thoughts far out to sea
Imagine the lonely slosh and swish of whitecaps
Or soak sunlight into my skin
Pull the aroma of coffee deep into my lungs
I'll think of you
Wonder at the symmetry of our two selves
In our kiss and embrace
Exalt in our coming together
Predetermined as the collision of planets

I see now the world is much bigger than me
