Live your Life

For Poets

Stay beautiful

but dont stay down underground

too long

Dont turn into a mole

or a worm

or a root

or a stone

Come on out into the sunlight

Breathe in trees

Knock out mountains

Commune with snakes

& be the very hero of birds

Dont forget to poke your head up

& blink

think

Walk all around

Swim upstream

Dont forget to fly
