Learning to walk

Stumbling on and on
on rocks, on leaves
on clouds, on lines...

tripping on and on
on water, on wind
on fire, on ire...

Learning to walk all over again
afraid of another fall
an another loss, afraid
of all the things that
are to be lost...

Crawling on fours
inch by inch, hesitant
lazily dragging along
low on faith and hope
with a thought of
hoping to learn to walk again...
