i saw
one step. in the dark.
not a path.
not even two steps.
so i took just one step.
and i didn't know if there
would be another one waiting,
but i took it anyways…
because i'm trying to have
a brave heart
even when it feels so. dark.
so with no light
and everything unknown
and not even very much hope,
i took a little step.
and then…
there was another little step.
and everything in me breathed wild relief,
not because i'm where i want to be yet…
but because there was another step.
and so now i have a little hope.
and i still don't know what's waiting,
and i don't know when i'll get to
where i pray that i'm going,
but i know that when i do… i'll look back
and see just how much it mattered
that i took that one little step.
