Taking Measure of the Moment This Visit

By Elizabeth Yungul

Supremely heavenly

Hey blank page
Staring up at me
Open up
Im ready to share
Memories
Any old thoughts will do
But just a moment
Something
More meaningful
More beautiful
Out there
High in the sky

A flock of wild geese
With noisy calls
Spreading their wings wide
Through that heavenly blue

Ive lost count
Of memories to share
And my ego fails me

Those remaining few thoughts
Soar high up there
With those wild geese
Where its
A better place to be

A visit

Supremely heavenly
