(guidance)

when I die
there better be some version of
Afterlife Google Maps
because I'm terrible with directions
and I'm hightailing it
to the Rainbow Bridge

then again
my nose seems
to sniff out the best bakeries
with the cannoli that they fill fresh upon order
my ears anticipate
my favorite song playing next in the shuffle
before I dare press the button to pause
my eyes beckon
I look up, just as in the blink of an eye
a star shoots across the night sky

moments and miracles
that could have been
so easily missed

like the miraculous moment we first met

so even if I don’t know
exactly how to get to you
I trust your goodness
your music
your magic
to be the only guidance I’ll need
to finding you
at the Rainbow Bridge
