Today I’m an empty chalk board,
Waiting for the knowledge of the Universe
To fill my nothing with something,
To make sense of the empty space;
Inscribe your experiences,
The formulas you've discovered -
I’m a clean slate.

Today I’m a sunny day,
Bringing smiles to all the Winter Goers
Hiking to get a good dose
Of vitamin D
And a touch of color to pale.

Today I’m a Hare Krishna -
Flowers offered to the Beloved
And worn in reverence
With tulasi beads
Around a strong neck
And dancing ecstatic.

Today I’m the wind chimes
That ring out songs of hope
In a world of wind-blown changes
And mindless traffic,
Reminding all the neighbors
That life resides in the vibes.

Today I’m your suitcase
Holding all your dreams, ready to
Hit the next adventure
So I don’t miss you when you go.

Author's Note: All the while, what I really wanted to say to him was "Let me be your suitcase. I promise I won't take up much room, and I'll hold all your treasures safely inside me, I promise. If you have to go, just take me with you. I'd rather be your luggage than go on without you." Which makes me wonder about baggage...heheh.
