from today,
i'm going to shake loose
every nerve and close my eyes
and trust the world
and i'm going to
fall and let the wind catch me
because i cannot trust someone else
to save my soul
i know it never works that way
from today,
i'm going to let people be and
listen, instead of hear. i can't change
anyone and it is all, all right
i'm not going to
sit and wait for a failure or
shrink in a corner with my back against
the world
today
i'm going to climb
and watch every sunset and star
and blooming flower and raindrop and
missed bus and twinkling lampost and
fading shadow
and remember you
and not cry, but remember you and
smile because i was the luckiest girl
to have you.
one day
i'll stand on the mountain top
and yell and shout and scream your name
to the world.
because
i don't have so much hope,
i'm going to shake loose every nerve
and close my eyes and trust the world
and start hitting the ground
running.

favorite stanza. I'm a sucker for good imagery. it was so vivid.
but all of this was brilliant, dear.
I love your writing.
don't think I've read anything by you recently, actually; is there anything I've missed? I'm going to look now.
