I am Alive

I have not just lived

I AM alive.

I have mattered.

I have created a legacy.

For me, for those before me and ones that come after me.

One that unabashedly owns the living, the loving, the loosing and the becoming.

One that celebrates the possibilities, the chasing, the falling and the making.

One that humms her music, even in the chaos of their noise.

One that knows to find herself, even in the mayhem of being everyone else.

I AM limitless,

In my potential and my pursuit.

I have basked in the light of those that I salute.

I have ignited that fire in those that I include.

I have known love, been in love, consumed by love and become love.

I have flowed gloriously in my contradictions and my imperfectly perfect trepidations.

I have embraced my shadows and become my light.

I have not just lived,

I AM ALIVE!
