I want to quit my job at the restaurant Escape with my beloved to a mild-weathered mountain- sweet spot Put hammer to nail and start building our lives’ work Plant the seeds our children will watch bud, blossom and fruit if we ever have any I want as many long years together as we can get I want to live to be 100 I want to watch the world evolve into a state I can bear to leave it in – in peace I want to open my eyes in a place I know God exists where the souls of everyone I love welcome me in an embrace of feathered wings I want them to say: “See? You were right! We’ve been here all along.” More than anything, I want you by my side And if the time comes to make the long journey in another body, I want you to follow me into the next life. – mrg
