like the first step
in a journey of a thousand miles
the first word of a poem
sets the tone
the direction
and the pace
and carries within it
the goal or outcome
of what is expected in the end
Just Do It
write that first word
take that first step
and see where it takes you
often ever so much farther
than you ever thought it could
it is sort of like
you first word – hello
and perhaps a smile
that randomly introduces you
to a person
who can become a best friend
for all of your life
a person
with whom you can share
just all of your joys
with whom you can share
your deepest sorrow
with whom time spent together
seems to fly on eagles wings
bringing you such magnificent views
of the human landscape
breath taking in their depth and variation
and words
that somehow
reach so far down inside
they nourish your spirit
filling it to more than overflowing
with love
and caring
and most of all
with a passion for this life
just the way it is today
in this time
and in this moment
so
take that first step
write that first word
say that first hello
there is a whole world waiting
to share your life
harmonizing with your spirit
ageless power
ageless light
ageless energy
radiating from within God’s universe
bringing to you
everything you want
in this wonder filled life
