Steps

Within each step, each foot requires the earth’s support.

Clinging as I walk with steps slightly above my surface.

My steps float and upon landing I take pause.

Wrapping my silence expressed only in bursts of truth.

I hear the call of my heart; as I reach into you for ground.

Your body captures my flight while floating forward;

I’m no longer accelerated as my secrets come out.

You are the fisher of my truth as we walk together.

Your spirit alone has captured my line.

Each truth I would rather not hear or face.

My soul’s corners are unfolded when thought reaches you.

You were reading into me as I flew: I’m stopped.

Caught in the web we’ve created in our net of candor.
