She did what she wanted to and succeeded...

 

    

Georgia O'Keeffe-"I've been absolutely
terrified every moment of my life-
and I've never let it keep me from
doing a single thing that I wanted to do."

What's the question?...

Can you tell me...
well, of course you 'can'...
I guess the question is
more rightly...'would' you or...
'will' you tell me
if I asked
or would you look away
and blush...
Would you say 'No'
or 'Maybe' or tell me
to come back later
so you can think about it
hoping I'd forget.
You know I won't-
won't forget that is.
Whaddaya say?
I'm waiting...

Where...

I want
to go
where I've never been.
New beautiful places
with no people
no agenda
no reason to be
just breathe
and see.

checking for a pulse...

yesterday
you were sad.
Is that
still true
today?

Sometimes
once in a while
now and then
off and on.

What do you call it...

 

"And when nobody wakes you up in the morning,

and when nobody waits for you at night, 

and when you can do whatever you want.

What do you call it, Freedom or loneliness?" 

Charles Bukowski
