Forward and Back

I’ve been moving,

One step forward,

And two steps back

All the time this year.

And on most of the days,

I tell myself,

I’m growing a little each day,

But, I find myself, moving yet stuck,

All at the same place.

Even though, I run low,

On hope and light on some days,

I find some of it hidden away,

At a place where I keep all my words.

FLY, I SAY
