there’s a new life awaiting
my decision to trust
the ability to be
recreated
2
there’s an old voice slumbering
under the glassy surface,
waiting for my feet to stumble
there’s an old voice
with a frightful laughter
filling my ears when I fall
there’s a new voice, mildly
encouraging
my faltering attempts
to stand solid
3
it will take years of trust
and a lifetime of hope
it will take all your guts
and demand all your strength
it will crave your heart
from its very core to its utter
limits
and you will feel like sinking
and you will feel like flying
and you will be leaded
down unknown roads and distant waters
and all you are and all you have
and all you ever dreamed of
will be replaced
and it will be totally
worth it –(Fototriss, APED prompt 14)
