Blue

I am standing by
The Bay in Sausalito
Watching the stars wink
On as night descends without
Someone with whom to share my
Life and unaware of what’s ahead
For me yet glad to be alive ready
For whatever comes next since
There is little choice in life
But to play the cards we
Are dealt as best we
Can for as long as
We can with no
Regrets, wiser
If not any
Smarter.
My friend
Pandora is
Next to me on
Her scooter and
I listen close to hear
What she is trying to say,
Her MS keeps her from walking
And her speech is slurred but
She is still a beautiful woman
Good company but cannot
Be part of a couple so we
Are sharing a Christmas
Eve meal but not our
Lives together and
We still text from
Time to time still
Friends though
We have gone
Each our own
Way since
Sausalito
And our
Blue
Sky.
