THE FIRST STEP
You are the witness. Movement is
the art.
Forget where you've stepped or
where you step in.
Bend over backwards. Never bend
your knees.
To keep your balance in equilibrium,
to strike out slowly, set to make
it there,
only lean forward over your center.
It's less what you see than a feel
inside
that gets a hold-on without taking
arms.
Reach out with a hand to keep a
balance.
Consecutively, you're never at rest.
Gather for the rock in your inner
ear.
Never bend your knees while shifting
your stand.
There's always the chance that's
how you will fall.
To keep your balance within some
limit,
you pass beyond art to say you
made it.
You become conscious of your unbent
knees
which are bound to trust however
it's said.
No longer content with what is
beyond,
inevitably, you are opened up.
You split and you merge what's
right and what's left
for transcendent grace, a power
outside.
The fact you witness, that you're
determined,
testifies someone wants you to
do good.
To take the first step, you need
warmth around.
