I Step

I Step

October 23, 2024

One more step

One step closer

The how not as important as the how far

My mode of transportation

Means I walk downhill

Even when I am climbing uphill

I have encountered obstacles

Of both my own making

And the making of others

My detours have been

Long and arduous

Only the more difficult in heels

But, I am where I should be

Not having to step over the bodies

Of those in my way

But, having to outsmart,

Outplay, and outthink

Those whose talents I still respect

So see me while you can

I am dynamic and highly mobile

I am more than the sum of my parts

My coat tails are indeed long

Follow my wake if you dare

And take each step if you can
