Even as a child I knew
deep in my being and bones
I'd never be happy
with a commonplace life.
That's not to say I don't
like simplicity, or order.
But I know,
I knew
I know that it will never
satisfy me to be the little woman
who folded up big dreams
and tucked them away
with old sweaters and photos.
No, that will not be my lot.
I crave adventure
experience
thrills.
But direction is another thing
there are so many paths before me
leading up mountains,
down valleys,
to harbors and ships ready to sail,
into forests,
across plains.
And I stand here ready
to take your lead,
waiting.
