I will release myself
to a wider place,
where my wild, restless
hunger pained heart
can pursue loves true goal…
+
I will not shrink back
into accepting softer (easier) compromises,
that mask
the true nature of
loves pure desire…
+
For love does not shrink
from me,
but woos me with
unworldly words,
singing songs
in the sunset,
painting visions in flowers
and butterfly wings,
stirring my desires
in the salt sharp blast
of sea air
as a balm to my tattered soul…
+
I will not shrink back,
here now, boldly
I will release myself
from smaller hopes…
+
I release myself to a wider place…
