A Vision: A Poem

Scott Bauer
I have had a vision.

A vision of my future.

It comes to me over and over in the night.

I am in the desert, alone.

But I am happy, at peace.

Not surface happy but soul deep happy.

First time for that

I have lived longer than I should.

And taken more that I have given

Borrowed time manifested

Hurt many

Loved very few

Left all

The vision will be true

When

I wait.

Then I feel

A presence that I have not sensed

Not for decades

A change flows with it

My deep happiness plunges deeper still

To depths never touched by any other

She sits with me, beside me, on me, in me

She is and was always part of me

In these untouched depths

We watch the sunset behind the Desert Mountains
