Before I die I want to learn
to live in the moment
this very moment
I want to feel every breath
If the sun is shining I want
to let it go through me
enlivening every cell
If it rains I want to try
to count the droplets
and
sense the life in them
I want to learn to replace worry
with wonder
and
regret with wisdom
letting go of past traumas
real or imagined
I want to learn who I am
and
how to be true to that
I want to learn
my strengths
to forgive my shortcomings
to absolutely know myself
I want to learn a thousand-thousand
new words
I want to learn to fly
if only
in my dreams
before I die
I want to learn to live!
