Dear world,

I love poetry, poetic wor(l)ds, birds, flowers and trees, turtles, the inner side, the unknown, Beauty, clouds ... During a time with lack of love, peace and beauty, let it happens in this simple gesture. Thank you!

Beijinho,
Manuela.

***

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible;
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom,
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
