LEARNING TO WALK


I looked
behind me
into nothing

I looked
upward,
drank the rain and
swallowed
pieces of a
falling sky

I looked
in front of me,
there
the earth rose
to meet one
still learning
to walk

I closed my eyes,
took a deep breath,
and
stepped softly
into Somewhere

Now this is cool, such great imagery and a wonderful sense of peace and the will to learn, great write

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
