Longterm plans ~
Step by step
moment to moment
two years ~ five years
a goal to ‘get there’
when diverted to
a stumble, a fall
focus challenged
ego bruised,
heart battered
standing once more
step by step
moment to moment
five years or more
the goal to be present.
Standing tall
in the darkness of pain
more than a challenge
a threat to life itself
devastating to any plan
second to second
baby step by baby step
no number of years
the only goal
to stay alive
to be present
to make a new plan.
“The most common way people give up their power
is by thinking they don’t have any.”
~ Alice Walker
