C for Connection

What is the meaning of life
you asked on the deck as we
inflated bright balloons to celebrate
to celebrate your brother's birthday.
I didn't have to think. Connection

What is the meaning of life
as we huffed through butterflies
and columbine to top Hamilton Mesa
and dip toes in the mouth of the Pecos.
It was almost a joke now Connection

What is the meaning of life
counfounded by color and line in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
day you introduced me to your love.
Easy fit this time. Connection

What is the meaning of life
now that biopsies, blood tests, scans
keep coming back bad and every day
seems both trial and priceless treasure.
Answer means more now. Connection

  2. "Both trial and priceless treasure" -- so very true. I can relate.
