Please take this body 
And make it a map 
Of where I’ve been 
And where I’ve yet to go 

Grant me those crow’s feet
To honor the birds and smiling
And freckle my face 
Revealing my affection for the sun
Give my skin some slack 
After all these years of 
Holding me together tightly
Let it be as loose and wrinkled
And relaxed as it wants 

Allow my eyes to lose precision
For I see much more clearly now
This translucent canvas  
Showing what’s beneath 
Blue streams running rivulets
Back to their precious source 

Please make this heart so big  
With love and understanding
It overflows my borders 
As these delicate holy bones are
Hugged closer to this earth
Before gravity lovingly lets go
