I wl not live an unlived life
I wl not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing
a torch, a promise
I choose to risk my significance
To live so that which came to me as a seed
goes on to the next as a blossom,
and that which came to me as blossom
goes as fruit.
