Little by little

Little by little

you step into

the waves of

your imagination

the way you wade

into the sea,

hesitant at first,

uncertain what

you'll find,

wanting to go deeper,

not sure you have

the courage to take

the next step

or, once in

(up to your waist),

if you have the courage

to lift your feet off

the sandy floor

and float,

letting the current

take you where

you've never been

before
