One stepΒ
I take, and anotherΒ
Towards this lightΒ
Pulling me onΒ
One stepΒ
Through a tunnel of shadowΒ
Pain and burdenΒ
I feel before I rise

One stepΒ
I take, and anotherΒ
Towards this lightΒ
Pulling me onΒ
One stepΒ
Through a tunnel of shadowΒ
Pain and burdenΒ
I feel before I rise
Veiled byΒ shadows neathΒ verdant timbers,
woolen skies’ tears dissolve toΒ mist.
FearsΒ immuredΒ by fragrantΒ breezes,
doubts enfold with tendered kiss.
A promenade fromΒ frondΒ toΒ bloom,
a gentle nudge down path unknown.
Through sacred sites, its secrets saved,
this one she takes–she takes alone.
β’
A
flaming sigh
burns
of
sweetness in gall
Β chasing breaths of wind
as your essence
departs.
β’

Because we all need to cross bridges once in a while.
