New Beginning


Poetry seems much more private than short stories.  Not sure why.  Hard to put it out there because of that.  But here goes.

New Beginning


To take that first step on any path
Requires something
It requires more than a movement of the foot
It needs more than seeing a way ahead
It demands more than being afraid of where you are now

It needs the rich soil of possibilities
Fed by the sweet water of sweat and tears
Refreshed by the breezes of hope
and nurtured by the realization that where you are now is not enough
An intuition that just beyond your sight
Lies a different landscape
One you sense but cannot see


So have Faith step out
Straighten your back
Walk tall, believe
Clear your vision from
The clouds of your past


See the person you were born to be
Striding into a future you don’t have yet
But one you are prepared to find
To take that first step requires something
It needs you to begin to be what you are not yet
But that first step, that is everything.
It is the beginning of who you are.
