My Ways

My Ways
by Gabe Redel


Why am I today?
I’ve got to find memories here.

I know there is a gift
or a package
or a little dessert
that I will not forget
after I have tasted it.

This is my life.
I feel it everyday.
I know it
when it is in me.
I am lonely
when I do not have it.

I need to leave
the bruising journey.
I have to let my hand
leave this love.

Interest is all over my mind.
It strikes me
on the chest
and under the ribs
to my heart.
I need to find my ways.
I don’t know why I am today.
