Starting steps

Seek for the astrologer
that whispers quiet overtures
orbits of expectations to exceed
the golden corn, the ripened wheat

As the potter forms the clay
tomorrow's presentation's
in words not deeds portrayed
small steps in trepidation all alone

The willow bends but never caves
and flex to each new challenge
inch forward and to subtly grow
the sap to reach a stiff elbow

Step from the valley snug and safe
to face the paths of slippery scree
fighting through the scrub
head forward for the gold you chase

Feathered head-dress for the brave
a cairn of stones so neatly laid
when next you pass
the maze so steep
a labyrinth to find the words unique
