Today is a day, the first of which I
can say ‘I am OK’ not well,
for this is a ways away, but
better than I have been, able to
find my voice and even a smile
or two.

Is there a tunnel? Am I in one, or
is this a tube that I am falling through,
either way an end to this movement
feels possible, hopefully into light
or onto a cushion,
but an end.

I have so many steps left to take,
but it requires a first, and
I am ready to move my foot,
to lift it and place it towards
a new goal, an obtainable
sort that could bring wellness.
