Volunteered

Traveling on the wind, carrying credentials

Abandoning anything, strangling potential

Galloping, inhabiting nothing inessential

Scattering, wondering, "Am I incidental?"

Sprout here another year, volunteered

Scavenging, salvaging, rationing for winter

It's challenging practicing living like beginners

But it's happening, it's dazzling

Protections start to splinter

Imagining, ravishing, springing from within her

Sprout here another year, volunteered

Sprout here another year, volunteered

Volunteered, volunteered, volunteered, volunteered

(Volunteered, volunteered, volunteered, volunteered)
