let your heart go wild

(the following is an excerpt of my friend anne's new poem.  she will be submitting and publishing the entirety, so i'll keep you posted when the full piece is released.)

Let Your Heart Go Wild

Step away 

from

your heart.

Let it rest

a season, a year,

or more.

As long 

as it 

takes.

Let your heart soil go

to seed.

Let the brambles return.

Let native life flourish.

Do not take a compass.

Do not draw a map.

Forget

all 

you thought you knew.

Get lost

and discover

yourself

for the first time.
