Just Once

I want to be foolish
Let the wind take me where it will
Without thought or worry
Of consequence
Once
Just once
Before I have to go

I want to stare life down
Take the bit in my teeth and run with it
Without need of
destination
Just that
Just once
Before my time is done

I want to be courageous
To let life take me where it may
Without fear or worry
Of losing myself
Once
Just once
Breathe deeply, let go regret
