Every day is a first step

 
Every day is a decision, a step further, yet
unmeasured from yesterday’s footprint.

Sometimes I fool myself that I can stay
here, then I notice the skywards axis

tilting and remaining invisible, as the
sands shift beneath my feet. To move

is to live. I breathe, shrug off my futile
search for the lost count, and

take another first step.
