Step My Love

The most

beautiful

steps

are 

years in 

the making.

Looking out

into a parking

lot

while

you are 

hiding

behind

a locked 

door.

Walking

down a 

steep 

gravel

road

while

the sun

warms

your tears.

Sitting 

under the dunes

as you give

up your lover.

Walking 

on a hot wooden

deck

barefoot while

the heat

warms your

feet. 

Giving your 

life to someone

else.

Taking it

back. 

Walking down

a hallway

in a crowd 

and realizing

you will hurt 

yourself if

you don't leave

this path. 

Sitting against

a tree trying

to 

heal

from 

losing a child.

Walking out

of a hospital 

after you

lost a 

love and realizing

you can still

breathe

and they 

can not.

Leaving

the life you

had rebuilt 

many times

over. 

Passion,

loss and independence

are all built into

the steps of

having a 

beautiful life. 

But the real

beauty in 

any step

is the ability 

to take the first

one, 

and 

never

look

back. 

All you

have to 

do is 

just that.

Step My Love.
