Devotion Poem, Our Next Lives
Devotion Poem, Our Next Lives
(For Jim)
Good morning!
Ten-thousand good-mornings
We have seen. At the least!
Together....and so I dream
Of what could be in our next lives:
We’ll still be coupled in such destined love
And, while the same me...and same you...
I’ll have become a dazzling beauty
For you...and you,
I think it would be fun, will take to singing
Like the old-time crooners —like
Frank Sinatra or Dick Powell — for romance
For me...and we...
Together will see thousands more
Moonbeams sprinkling around us
As the twilight’s fading brings me
Again and again
To hear your lullaby ‘s tune cradling me in air
For thousands of coming good-nights
We have yet to share.
