Listen to poem:

One Mere Step at a Time

When life's journey folds in on itself,
Becomes a jumble, in clattered confusion,
it's wise to hold back,
and stall the footfall.
To disassemble the journey and saga,
into it's component parts,
and lines in play.
To revert to time's tick tock routine,
taking one step, one mere step,
before every second one,
reflecting on each moment,
dissected, 
and stepped, 
upon.

Nicely put, John. Words of wisdom. I’ll try to remember them.
