Of Spirits and Sweet Grass
I was privileged to share
A special moment with a friend
Not in person – but almost in real time
As those things go these days
It was a moment of great spirit
Of things as they are
And things to come
A check in on the road of life
And what an amazing story was told
It was almost like hearing
That in one big moment
All your wishes could come true
It was thrilling
And exciting
To see how her planning and thoughtfulness
Had a chance to play out
And I couldn’t be happier for my friend
Who even to my surprise
Was able to put it all together
To be set for her next phase of the journey
And as happy as I was for her
I felt melancholy too
For her moment was here
In all its glory and expectation
But then I looked inside
To ask myself if I had missed something
Watching her plan play out -Just like she said
And wondering if sometimes you just have to go with it
