My Life in Poetry

by Kayce Stevens Hughlett

SoulStrolling Wild Woman Skips the Holidays!

And then there is a version of the French Pantoum that showed up while I was co-facilitating Awakening the Creative Spirit...

i am one who runs parallel to the horizon,

reaching from ground to sky

the journey calls, i lean in, open my eyes & dream

the journey calls

to step through, to truly cross over without guilt or shame

i open my eyes and dream to roam free,

to breathe out more than i breathe in

to step through, to truly cross over without guilt or shame

i lean in to roam free,

to breathe out more than i breathe in

i am one who runs parallel to the rest,

reaching from ground to sky

What is your 6-word memoir or life headline? How might you configure your life as poetry?
