Stepping Out

Full to the brim with hope
My heart
Fluttering like a little bird's

Ready for new endeavors
My mind
Cautions with earlier experience

There is no standing still
My soul
Reveals the inmost truth of life 

Their voices swirling in me
Very unsettled
I inspect all the implications

Steadily placing my feet
With love 
My eyes draw towards the distance

Taking in the cool air
I know
The future lies ahead of me

Full to the brim with hope
My heart
Flutters like a little bird's
