My legacy will be my happiness.
When I was totally present
My face chasing the sun
Skin dripping in dappled light.
Living to the rhythm of the ocean
That anchors me to
Life’s ebbs and flows.
Fluid. Yet firm when need be.
My legacy will be walking away from people and places
Better than when I found them.
Tucked in between the lines of those tender conversations
When we go there.
Learning something new because I want to,
Not because I’ll be tested on it
Or paid to do it.
You’ll find my legacy in the rearview mirror,
Chasing every sunset and sunrise
As if I’ve never seen all this before.
