One Step - A Poem for Jordie

You stand there
A look of uncertainty on your face
Your hands clasped together
Your heart thudding quickly
You’re afraid, nervous
Frightened to walk across

You turn to look behind you
Your wary eyes, searching the shadows
Espying a movement, a blurred figure
You shrink back, your voice caught
Then you shake your head, and you speak
“I can’t do it, I won’t, I can’t…”

You tightly shut your eyes
Feeling the darkness enclose around you
The coldness pricking at your skin
Your mind just an empty hole
Your heartbeat slowing to a stop
Your entire being just vanishing

But from the depths of your mind
You manage to recall that light
That glimmer of hope lingering behind
Of the people who are cheering for you
Smiling, whispering comforting words
The ones who embrace and kiss you

And you open your eyes
Warmth spreading across your body
A smile creeping to your lips
And you inhale, taking a deep breath
Your laughter strong, rich
As you take one step forward…
