In the mirror image of a life I have not yet seen
one side a life surviving not living
the other all the wanderlust possibilities
my spiritual needs yearning desires guiding me

soaring through the sky where the angels fly
cotton soft puffy clouds sunshine prisms all around
calm picturesque freedom flowing delicate elegance
the aqua marine reflections from the oceans and the coral seas

majestic cliffs of Moher beds of Namur Ian
shale and sandstone moss green with gray tones
ancient river channels cutting through below
razor bills black with white undersides
monogamous birds one mate for life
grey seals, porpoise’s basking sharks minke whales
enormous sunfish feral goats, foxes, badgers and the Irish hare

the forest and trees higher than you can climb or see
pine cones autumn leaves amber brush fluttering
orange yellows crimson glittery golds season of beauty to behold
sleeping at night with open windows
under covers snuggled warm your face and nose briskly cold

a humble cottage on a rocky cliff
flashing lighthouse in the distance
waves breaking curling over into foam
rumbling crashing one after the next
dolphins dancing twirling laughing playing the children of the sea
magnificent whales splashing jumping singing rhythmical harmony

artic circle captivating mountain wilderness
Yukon’s pristine dempster highway breathtaking
foothills covered with chromatic tundra and celestial fireworks
fiery fall radiance dappling off the crystal clear lakes and creeks
grizzly bears and cubs fumble fishing, prancing reindeer
the woodsmen devil wolverine gulo mustelidae

private aurora hunting for the best magic light clear sky
beside a campfire with hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows
beneath kaleidoscopic crown of the borealis polychromatic hues
illuminating vibrating tones of purples winter greens and blues

wild horses running free on the oceans shore
zebras, long neck giraffes hearing the lions roar
elephants’ trunk eating peanuts from my hand
riding a camel on the desert sand

I don’t want to leave before I see
all of the world’s delicate majesties
break free of a life of sorrow and stress
experience this life the way it was meant

universal splendor engulfs my essence
wraps itself around me calling and pulling internally
mystical mysteries the forests living beings
stay lost in the woods with them for eternity

need to be as one with earth, animals and the breeze
through this window I vividly see
every piece of them in every piece of me
stars, twilight the moon how it shines
inside your body stimulates your mind

all of nature breathes in every part
calming my tortured painful heart
seeing there’s so much more to you,
understanding tides, the powder blue skies
paired grey wolves howling under the moon whimpering cries

connection you have to all worldly things
taking the time and reeling all of them in
swaying under the twinkling stars
skinning dipping in the dark

fawn’s first peek, frolicking playful antics of lion cubs
and their mothers hovering protective love
greenest of grass light and bright with a faint bluish cast
verdant diamond field meadow of effervescent wildflowers
all the colors on the color wheel
and maybe discover a few new ones still
sensual loveliness breath taking appeal

lay down slumber there for the day,
around your head butterflies fluttering in the sunshine play
bumble bee’s buzzing, honey suckle lilac
intoxicating fragrant scent

that place we all go to feel carefree
a permanent vacation from man’s society
that place we want to stay and never leave
imagine how many of them there may be

I want to spend the rest of my days
adventuring how many there are out there for me
fantasy wonderlands reality?
this planet earth holds infinitely

than I can leave this well lived life
to my heaven surrounded by
all the innocent creatures for all of time
that to me is eternally sublime
with no regrets left behind
