RESOLUTION

 I take my freedom by the throat

I used to break for the dawn

I lit candels for the sun

when they ignite my hair

i forgave the flames for their fury

and left the meaning at someone else's feet

It is easier to cry and soothe the burns

then to walk away from the warmth

i never thought to ask for more but now 

     

                       I will reach for beauty

                       I will make the dawn wait for me

                       I will follow the morning towards

                       the heavens

                        

                        I will climb to the knees of the

                        gods.

                        and tilt their faces downward

                        I will make them look their 

                        creation in its eyes and still

                         I will dare to ask for more.
