Stepping Out
It’s easy sticking to routines, Though some might find it boring, Yet out beyond your comfort zone Are risks not worth ignoring. Away from home, your bed and bath, Especially untested, Might make you worry that you won’t, When morning comes, feel rested. And all the unfamiliar foods, So different and appealing, May be too tempting to resist And leave your stomach reeling. And even if you...

Premium Member Stepping Out One Evening
A warped board on a bench seat causing discomfort to an old bum, an aching foot, a touch of pity all came to keep me self-sealed inside a bag of skin. I took no note of the river almost licking at my feet, the evening's prayerful quiet, the sky slowly switching on its nightly extravaganza of stars. I was too far into...

Stepping Out of the Monochrome
Black and white movies, old even when I watched them flicker still on an inner retina. A hero turns conspiratorially, staring into my future; what he said into the camera then, is silent now but I see his lips move as if he were predicting this moment. A heroine hikes her skirt over her thighs; blood fills the flesh of memory, a dialogue recalled by younger...

Stepping out into the air Each, and every minute has a chance that is rare Take it before you forget.

Premium Member Migrants Stepping Out
Regardless of culture, of religion, of national residency, of gender, of sexuality's vast pantheistic diversity, of hemispheric prime presidency, When humans step out of our shelters into a riotously gorgeous and fresh perfect warm sunshine breezy natural day, we feel healing positive passion Is what we have been needing and what and/or whom we are currently sacred graced to feel and know in timeless compassion And sometimes unclear yet pure dispassion inflamed...

Fort Largs Stepping Out On Hallowed Ground
Will you step on the hallowed ground With our brothers and sisters that were found When we marched together as one And our lives had just begun Do you remember the morning parades And the leave night escapades The golden days when youth abounded The feeling of a new life as you were astounded But the years have been unkind And the hallowed...

You have to be immortal to placate the gods Time reaffirming all memory of Creation, destruction, eternity looms For those who believe —appeasement exhumes (Calvary Cemetery: October, 2020)...

A Brighter Outlook By Stepping Out Part Two
Brighter days and encouragement succeeded from when I had stepped out from the gloom. I found beyond the door there was greater light to visualize nature and beauty than what I could have imagined. The swan count back then had come to seven that were gathered on the pond and then fluttered up their wings to...

Brighter Look By Stepping Out
I rested my morose attitude and crafted a positive outlook which I needed to inspire my contemplations , I then stepped out turning the page before the next chapter to help clear my feelings from the shelf full of mundane concepts and perhaps distill my perceptions to remove some burden clouds. Near the end of the path to...

Stepping Out
Like the first day of school, The first step is the scariest. You were born to be remarkable, And altogether incomparable. Don’t you dare punk out, By running in fear and doubt. Gear up and step up to plate, Trust yourself and be great. Step out of your comfort zone, Life is tougher in the red zone. Don’t be afraid to take a chance, Even...

Stepping Out
Back in the day music was good. We enjoyed ourself no matter what part of town. From the shotguns, to the high-rises. The urge that instantly becomes testimonial. Immediately we'd feel better soon as the music plays. We'd forget everything else. Like millions of feet echoing through our ears. Our body reacts. The experience of true euphoria when the music takes over. Suddenly the load...

Premium Member Stepping Out of Time
Stepping out of time I tried to make you jealous As it slowly broke my heart Every time the music played it tore my soul apart As I walked in the room I put on my biggest smile The love songs I wished were ours played on the DJ,s dial The music had a sultry beat the night had a subtle glow Strong hands held me...

I made a decision tonight - to step out and quit my job A job that I have for 20 years A job that I love I don't know what I am going to do But I know whatever it is He has me there I don't know whether it is a step of faith But I am scared sless I don't know...
