If I am honest, if I am truthful with myself, I understand I have so much work to do in order to become the person I believe I was born to be. I can be more, and so I will start trying harder today.

I’m to be gentle and curious,

patient despite reasons

to be hasty, I’m to be calm

in the face of panic.

I’m to be kindness, a wave

of compassion that consumes

and soaks all in its path.

I’m to taste of tenderness

to make this life a poem

written in footsteps and hands

held out for the holding,

I’m to be new, or unearth

the old like excavation and

hold it to the sun as dust

falls from it like incense smoke

and discovery.
