I seem to be
climbing stairs
that lead nowhere.
I put one foot forward
and then the next
and keep moving
until suddenly I see
that there are no more steps
in front of me.
What's this?
I ponder and look around--
I wonder, do I go back down
or do I continue up
to oblivion--
with blind faith only
to guide me?
No guarantees
No absolutes
Just movement
going up, going forward
shoving past the doubt,
the fear, the unknown.
Stairs leading nowhere?
I'm not afraid.
I'll continue on--
for who knows what waits
beyond the unknown?
