I Want to Live Like I Mean It
A pilgrimage poem by Kathryn Overall.
Spring 2019 | Virgin del Camino, Spain
I want to live like I mean it.
With bolder strokes and deeper colours
Splashed across the page.
I want to dance with joy.
Beginner’s steps
Graced with years of knowing.
I want to sing like the flowers
Spilling their glory on roadsides.
Seen, or unseen,
Just the same.
I want to love.
To live with someone else
In a house not my own.
I want to move away
And yet, remain
In the centre.
