Steady As I Go
by
Nancy Lamkin
My world trembles beneath me
No grasp to hold me down
Life experience has taught me
Below the surface solid sounds
Of future walks of being
So while past fears do fall
And recognized through passage
There is no ground at all...
Sometimes only a place to lie my head
I know this feeling past not dead
For me or no man smart
Simply the power not possessed
To detour what lies ahead
And as the world evolves
I balance my footing upon it’s ridges
And walk along its rough edges
Stepping steady to what I know...
