How Did I Get This Close To Death

How did I get this close to death
never to notice this shadow
gathering;

Could this Pacific sea sparkle less brightly
or its waves break more gently
into this sand?

Where is that face I so longed for
in those ages past, resting
among oak and pine;

How long will the sun continue
to shine and give such hope

to the hopeless?
