What if...
What if I cultivated stars instead of whispering your name
What if I forget to remember you today and feel more sane
What if I communicated with the crows
What if I sensed the magic of the crossroads
What if I danced under the moon
What if I evoked the wisdom of the crone
What if I listened to the truth of my heart
What if I stopped pulling myself apart
What if I believed in my own voice
What if I made the dangerous choice
What if I stopped being so effing “nice”
What if I cultivated stars instead of my vice
