GIANT STEPS
We take giant steps
When we let ourselves go
Step into love
Step into eternity.
Nano steps will hardly reach
Outside where full blown life
Blows me away from restrictions
Predictions: of those trapped
by circumstance, by failed romance.
Instead of taking a walk
while spring flowers test the temperature.
too many stuck inside, hide away,
Do not live the love-lorn day.
When we let ourselves go
Step into love
Step into eternity.
Nano steps will hardly reach
Outside where full blown life
Blows me away from restrictions
Predictions: of those trapped
by circumstance, by failed romance.
Instead of taking a walk
while spring flowers test the temperature.
too many stuck inside, hide away,
Do not live the love-lorn day.

This poems speaks of a time when we have given up on adventure; a time when apathy and lethargy have become deep rooted. There is a great temptation to stay in our comfort zones and idle away our time. The poem is also one of motivation in making the reader realise what he or she is missing. The need to engage with life, to appreciate the world about us. Perhaps the lock downs of Covid have fostered a new generation of the living dead.
A good read and one which merits some thought as we endeavour to renew our perspective on ife.
John, thank you for this
