Walking slowly,
Carefully placing each foot.
Storm clouds on the horizon,
Yet I still move slowly.
Careful of each step in life,
Never get out of line.
Lighting strikes a tree
A few years away.
Thunder rolls overhead,
As dark clouds cover the sky.
As I look back down the road,
How clear it was
How easy it was.
I only thought it had been hard.
Rain falls over me,
The icy water falling over my face,
A reminder of all the salty tears I’ve cried.
I look up, and squint through the waterfall of water,
I realize for the last few years I haven’t moved,
Haven’t changed
Its time to take that first step,
Get moving on the long road.
The road that is my life.
