" I Will................"

I will...........

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 comes to me
as seed as to blossom
as blossom goes on as fruit.
