Breathe

Tonight
the sun sets.
Its yellow illuminating Pikes Peak
as though this were its last chance
to show humans
its truest expression
of beauty.

What if it were you
with one last chance
or one last day:
What would you do
to die
fulfilled?

If it were me,
I’d show you a love
so deep
you would cry
spontaneous tears of joy
and you would be full as me.

In fact, here,
I’ll show it to you now
Open your heart to the sky
and breathe.

The enourmous western winter nightime sky affects me in a similar way.
