ahead
the
ragged & rocky
steps
lead
not left
not right
with
no banister
or rail
to lean upon
a flight
that appears
to have no destination
merely a landing
that eagles perch upon
while surveying
for their prey
a flight
that tempts one
to take the 1st step
and not look back
leaving
tracks of the past
a flight
urging one
to the next
and next
steps
parting with reluctance
finding fortitude
with each new tread
the air
becomes lighter
the sun becomes brighter
one’s mind
opening to the limitless
options
there is no search
in this climb
for
opportunity lies
……………………… ahead
