the unknown...

 Laying here beneath the
powerful rays of the summer sun, 
reading the work of the 
beat poets, and 
listening to the Kings of Leon,


taking me back a few years... 
to another time of transition in my
life... 


I am brought back to the present
by the sound of birds
singing their sweet melodies
and 
petals from the tree above
falling slowly 
down
to rest upon my warm skin... 


I consider all the changes 
that are occurring in my crazy 
adventure of a life
& all the changes 
that are soon to come... 


I stare the unknown that is my future
in the face &
I welcome it and embrace it...
choosing to live
day to day, 
moment by moment,
finding the beauty in it all.
