Empty

Adventure’s here below;

A list before I kick it

Wishes ’fore I go

The proverbial life’s bucket:

See the Eiffel Tower

Walk beaches on an isle

Kiss in a rain shower

A fifteen minute mile

Sleep a seaside shanty

Or house built in a tree

Drive across the country

Travel on the sea

This is just a list

Made up on the spot

My true desire’s this

Before I die, I’ve sought:

To empty all, as pressed

Giving of myself

Every ounce of love, expressed

My wine upon the shelf

In hearts of those I’ve known

And even strangers, too

Words, my heart, seeds sown

Even, somehow, touching you
