Life is nice when one is lost
But not too lost - just enough
For survival to kick in with
The knowledge a call or a text
Will soon bring rescue, perhaps
Even a cherry lime slushy with
A few onion rings besides. Nice
Overall nice even as it is a little
anti - climatic but what if I was
To whisper that is all life is - I
Doubt you would believe me
As you continue the struggle
Of mere existence - one leap
And you could join me - so till
Then I will wait on this side
Near a little bridge near a shady
Creek where no water flows and
There’s even a bridge you could
Cross but knowing you like I do
You’ll leap - cherry lime slushy
In hand
