steps to the steeple

on the way
people will fall
slide down the stairs
attempt to block the path
grab your leg
to pull you down
into the mud of self doubt.
only one
will teach you the moves
to dodge
recover
with grace and balance.
this thing
we call life
rocks on axis spinning wildly
rotate magnetic currents
to the point of nausea.
there are others
like you
eyes to the heavens
optimism in tact
ready to create the unimaginable.
find the birds of a feather
and let them guide you.
