I will not die an unlived life. I will 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 seed Goes to the next as blossom And that which came to me as blossom, Goes on as fruit.
