Awake
If I have but this
one life,
to be awake and feeling,
to know the ache,
longing and limitless edges of my heart
then I would live a
life with abandon.
Art by Kate Gillett |
I would throw
myself against these winds,
to feel their full
force through me.
All the pressure,
all the flight.
I would trust the
ever-full well spring
Always gushing
forth.
Remove my clothing
Slip skin in,
And let it love me
probe
me
kiss
me
be
in me.
I would trust the
earth
rising
up to greet me.
Believe its gravity
that grips ever still,
In this timeless
place
where
everything is.
I would trust this
fire that burns
everything
clear from its path.
It’s flame licking
leaping
in
such wise, and bold
destruction.
This fire, that
clears the way, and opens…
If I have but this
one life,
I would live it
awake.
