I Want to Live Like I Mean It

Poems for Soul Space
Written By Kathryn Overall

A pilgrimage poem by Kathryn Overall.
Spring 2019 | Virgin del Camino, Spain

Red Poppies, 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.
