This One Life

With this one wild

and precious life,

I will seek to master

only me.

I will embrace

each glorious

and

slippery day.

Living

bold

curious

and free.

I will build a shack,

and furnish it

with a table

to share my bounty,

and a bed

to share

with my

love.

My feet

will carry me

on grand

adventures

so that I can gather

new stories

for the golden

days,

and when it storms;

I will take refuge

in the light

where nothing can hide,

and when I grow tired,

I will sleep,

and when I sleep

I will dream.
