To Walk

What does she run to?
Even she knows not.
She tempts a bridge not crossed,
Unseen,
Lost in mists of light and rain.

Sure footing eludes her step.
This place she goes…,
A path of uncertainty.

Uncommon valor she happens across.
Time slows. Her caution lost.
This kind soul teaches her how
To build the foundation that holds her now.

What does she run from?
She begins to see.
The past is just a part.
Turn…
Find the heart that learned to sing.

Place one foot before the other.
Dance the blade…
Avoid the steels sharp edge.

She learns to trust herself and reaches.
Within. Her soul she teaches.
On the edge of knowing right from wrong.
Guided by a heartfelt song.

She walks.
