The other day I asked myself

What it means to be kind

Like if I die

What will I leave behind

A life

An impact

Countless smiles unwrapped

And so under the spruce tree

As the birds sang

As I waited for you

I knew

Under the wild cypress tree

A canyon alive with laughter

I watched you

Through the bonfire's glow

Through the embers

Casting their shadow

Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You"

Melting into "Blue"

It was true

Everything felt right

In the canyon at midnight

Sheep Meadow at dawn

Bodies tangled on the lawn

A stage

A song

It won't last long

Hold on

When the tides inevitably turn

And the sun surrenders its glow

Will you smile despite your pain

And offer a lifeline

To all who came
