"take a Step"

Take a step toward 
Forward, further and farther than before
Take a step back
Backward, behind to behold a new beginning
Now that you are where you started
Take a break
Abandon the arbitrary arguments
Gather the nerves to go for your goals
And think thoroughly about the things that matter
Set your sight upon the scarlet sunset
When the darkness disappears and dawn returns again
You will know you have what it takes
Open your eyes, take a breath
And take a step
