Step Forward, Further

We do cue our steps,

to land a certain cadence

we learn to recognize,

our lives are truly designed.

Yet so often we are not sure,

having met that goal,

we seek the next,

push ourselves further,

feel my heartbeat,

racing with anticipation.

We would rather settle

today’s needs tomorrow,

we’ll sleep now,

having a plan in mind.

We continue to figure out a way

to step forward despite

ourselves.
