THE ART OF BEING

today i will learn
not to promise,
but to bless
possibility.
in all my words
i will aim
to speak
only truth
and to gain
wisdom
as i know
there are gifts
offered by silence.
in my heart
i will yearn
to dance in the rain,
to dissolve blame,
to kiss the face
of my most ugly self
until she becomes
someone i can love.
