First Step

Mountains, paths

Beginnings and ends

My soul leaps for the sky

When I take that first step

A sunny morning

Further down on the road

The birds fly by my side

Singing gentle songs

Fluttering their feathers

Banishing the darkness

With the beats of their wings

Gracing my ears

With a morning chorus

The sun rises

The way is not so dark

A sunny morning

 

 

Too many doors

 

I walk down a hallway

There’s so many doors to choose from

So many rooms, so many options

I had them

I almost had one

A single room

Planned

Foiled

I move on to the next door

I’ve found it

This is the room I’ve been looking for

I leave, disatisfied

Too many doors

I leave the building

Through the exit

Where there is air
