One foot in front of the other
Our journey unknown as we tread
like reading a novel, no sense of
beginning or middle or end, so we step
cautiously on this path that lays ahead
~~~~~~~~~~~
memories of yellowed pages in a book once read
our lives were once like that but now we voice
farewell to what was frayed and erstwhile
to corners that curled and smelt of damp
beginning a new chapter we rejoice
~~~~~~~~~~
goose pumps explode upon paled skin
unknowing what is down this path
or what our lives will bring
Excitement, gut in knots, flushed cheeks
accepting, learning, discovering
~~~~~~~~~~
our own story we now embark upon
treading with inspired steps
the discarded pages of books all worn
replaced with crisp untouched experience
~~~~~~~~~~~
one foot in front of the other
with eagerness to discover
we say goodbye to previous loves
and turn the new pages together
