Poetry: Appreciate your life

'On Traveling in the New Mexico Desert'

Come sit with me awhile-
I'm shivering with cold
and I think that I done wrong.

My youth is dying
in the New Mexico desert
and I need a steadying hand
to calm it on its way.

Oh it's cold, so cold-
touch its hands,
it's alright, I swear,
he don't feel a thing.
I've sat vigil all night,
waiting for the sun to rise,
to spread a blanket over-
waiting to move on.

I'm shivering with cold
and I think I done wrong-
waiting for my youth to die.
But it'll be better
when it's gone.

    Bare foot,
    Mud between my weathered toes,
    Sun upon my caramel frame where dust and dew alight,
    Look at me,
    Spinning,
    In one congruent
