Heather Pound

there you go, peeping out the door

peering through the crack

watching life pass by

and i understand that courage is required

but there’s so very much to live

for lurking out that door.

so while your hand may tremble and it may

take some time, if you choose

again to make a move

and open just a fraction more, then

soon the space will widen and the

light will stream inside

—sometimes healing comes in the smallest of steps–but still it comes.
