Morning in Mid-September

Breezes cool and soothing always
flow by me this day
as if to say I’m here
I’m aware
I’m still alive.

Early and melancholy I rise, awake
deeply - damp, and intensely
conscious; today exists yearlessly,
I feel.

Connection intensifies.
Rivers and oceans carry magnetic
touch, equally strong,
empathetically attractive

As brave armies march towards
assured destruction
they do so beautifully
for now
for today, for tomorrow
things will change

But on this morning, eternal -
engraved in time - I find “I” is plural
We
existed, exist
today.
