Challenge

I want to challenge my heart to beat:

sing in front of a large crowd
kiss someone new
lose someone dear
live on little money
and hope for battles
jump a fence
dance all night
read a poem aloud
run a mile
lie
tell the truth
hold my breath
and let someone
come inside me
body
mind
and soul

Being alive

In short you want to feel alive in every sense of the word and have all that life has to offer you and let its experience permeate and excite body and soul. Your poem says it all. You have to practice what you preach though. lol Keith
