All and Nothing

i have it all now

i sit with my bloggy blog at the neighbor's
where I am housesitting

and where I planted a garden
of sorts

last week

-----

comfortable furniture
feet up

warm summer breezes blowing through
open doors

all night
reminding me of the sublime joy

which i somehow forget about
until they come around again:

summer nights

-----

got here by riding my bike
took three routes so far I think

to feed the rabbit and pick up mail
guess about the age

of the food in the fridge

say hi to the neighbors
now three generations worth in the house

nice folk

-----

my overwhelming desire for love
is out of control

but at least I have been gifted
with the most beautiful countenance

on the Earth
on which to occasionally gaze

and for this and nothing more
i am satisfied

-----

in a certain sense I couldn't be happier
even if lost with my beloved

amidst ten thousand golden wildflowers
in full bloom

and the softest pink and powder
blue sunset over the pacific

with waves crashing below us
high on the cliffs
