Never Stop Becoming – Poem by Ali Grimshaw

~ Ali Grimshaw 







and if 

and if she had not become 

quite so tame 

what trees might she be at the top of now?





how many times has her heartvoice been drowned out
by training wheels and forced rewrites of others?

it is never too late to nourish, curve toward the sun





she is a flower like all flowers





her wildness knows how to bloom





without advice
