Living LIfe

Living
Life
Is a risk

We walk through our days

Anticipating good

We have to

Or how else could we
How could anyone
Take any next steps

Steps taken

With the same trust
That’s in place
When we walk
A sandy beach
Barefoot
With every step
Soft warm sand
Burying soft warm feet

But every once in a while

A sharp shell
Every once in a while
Debris that punctures
Every once in a while
Pain

Every once in a while

Life catches up
And makes a fool of you

But you keep walking

One foot in front of the other
In the sand
Through life
And through pain
