There, where queen
annes lace grew  
by the graveside

I knew it was time
then, to climb over
the fences.

I have read it more than once already and I love it. (is it my bad memory or did you actually change "my" into "the" fences?). Either way it is a powerful poem of change.
And the choice of queen anne's lace is not casual I think ... they are beautiful, but belong to another era ...

Wonderful, jump now into a new ocean of awareness, dear Michele.

Love,
Margherita

Goddess, sunflowers would have put an entirely different connotation on this poignant little beauty.

So much said inside
the line, at times we must
take that leap,

very well written,
