James Mclain Poet Lyric

Walking Into The Unknown

Walking into the Unknown—
Head high—bravely—Eyes wide open—
The Road unnames itself—
Yet beckons—soft—with Light—

I have no Map—but Courage—
No Compass—save the Heart—
The Dark is only Distance—
Between the Now—and Start—

Each Step invents the Morning—
Each Breath—declares the Day—
What waits—may not be Mercy—
Yet Fear—has slipped away—

For Faith is not a Certainty—
It is the Will—to go—
And Trust—the quiet Footfall—
That dares—the next—Hello—
