One Step [a poem]

One step
I take, and another
Towards this light
Pulling me on
One step
Through a tunnel of shadow
Pain and burden
I feel before I rise

One step
I take, and another
Towards this light
Pulling me on
One step
Through a tunnel of shadow
Pain and burden
I feel before I rise
Veiled by shadows neath verdant timbers,
woolen skies’ tears dissolve to mist.
Fears immured by fragrant breezes,
doubts enfold with tendered kiss.
A promenade from frond to bloom,
a gentle nudge down path unknown.
Through sacred sites, its secrets saved,
this one she takes–she takes alone.
•
A
flaming sigh
burns
of
sweetness in gall
chasing breaths of wind
as your essence
departs.
•
Because we all need to cross bridges once in a while.
