Livid Step<br />
Everything is a reminder,<br />
a flickering candle, a photograph<br />
of a light that would reside,<br />
that would call out to you<br />
In light, in darkness too, a reminder<br />
It eroded, it dwindled<br />
into the deepest depths of a spirit<br />
One day you will know<br />
Oh child, be patient<br />
There’s something waiting for the clutch of your hand,<br />
your heart too<br />
Darkness can’t reside,<br />
it just can’t live here anymore<br />
It’s something to let go of<br />
Flush the spirit, cleanse it<br />
There are reasons for this, oh child<br />
Be patient and realize it<br />
Without a Day<br />
Somehow your first taste of blood<br />
is an initiation. A cold hard truth<br />
you live with<br />
You nor I will ever forget<br />
how momentous it felt to step over,<br />
to only fall<br />
I know all too well<br />
how far I’ve fallen, how deep I’ve swam,<br />
because I’m drowning<br />
