I received this latest poem by Cristy Ramirez just yesterday. In her e-mail, Cristy says of it: "It seems to suit me, and is more my stye of writing, I think." - poetheart 09/01/01
I dance through my garden.
I soar above the sea.
I sing my song.
Careless, and off-key.
I lie in the cool damp grass.
I feel the earth beneath my skin.
I bathe with the moonlight,
And I laugh with the wind.
I leap through my forest.
I swim in my river deep.
I dream of stars and roses,
And I wake from perfumed sleep.
Ask me why I do these things,
And the answer I will give
Is very short and simple,
I will tell you what its like to live.by Cristy Ramirez
