I've Never Seen a Moose In the Wild

There are days when the thought of leaving slips into my mind
It's a thought that is dark and far from kind
And most of the time I wonder how it worked its way to a place
That leaves me feeling burdened blind and behind
But I'm fine

At least that's what I tell myself from time to time
But I can't leave
I can't leave because I have yet to see the sun set over and through the redwood trees
And I can't leave because I have yet to find rest in the mess
And I still have a little something more to give than my best
And I can't leave because next Saturday I made plans and I don't want to be late
And I can't leave because I love the way she cooks
And part of me wonders at age 74 how I will look
And as silly as it sounds
I've never seen a moose in the wild
And I want to see a moose in the wild

And I can't leave because for as hard as living can be
I can't help but believe there is beauty beginning to bloom out of the brokenness
I believe there is
And I am going to see it
