a timid step

the winds of change
they call my name
though i would say
i am not ready
to ford the wake
but there's no bridge to take
how long must i await
as my passions i forsake
my heart aches

the winds of change
they stir my chaparral heart
they know the way
the path we all must take

so i take a timid step
slow at first
deliberate
for still i thirst

for what i do not know
but so i'm told
as we grow old
all shall unfold
