Pathfinder

I inseminate my fate with imaginative abandon
I travel across the ghostly lake as a phantom descending
and my fascination with my life peels back the eye
to look in the blue depths for a glimpse of our design
and I am reminded in that moment
that life is a thing of beauty that meant
and when I die, I will die alive
with a smile that weeps with
the wonders and memories I adore and keep
