The first step

The first step

A Poem by audacicity

At night when the tasks of life can not distract me,
from the destitution of my soul,
when my soul stands on a fast sinking island
and dread fills me,
when there is no light to reach my soul and it is hard to tell
if it is dawn or just the dusk and a long night awaits
all I can do is wrestle my spirit for the sake of the promised one
at the risk wrenching my hip
i wake up and take my first step into the dark waters,
aware of the lurking demons and angels
i seek for the plunders of kingdoms unknown,
aware of the crocodiles in the depths,
i leave my mother's warm hut,
i stumble into the unknown
because i know that death will soon find me at the fireplace
and i am confident of the resilience of my spirit
for the extraordinary soon becomes ordinary.
