Today

I was brave today.
Not in some grand or daring way.
I didn’t break the Berlin wall
Or heed some frantic midnight call,
Shots still fire and planes still fall
Without me in their way.
But I was brave today.
 
I took a step today.
Just a few inches, but that’s okay.
I didn’t take the streets in stride
Or carve a course horizon wide,
What lies ahead are months and miles
Through storm and clouded fray.
But I took a step today.
 
I fell down today.
I’d come so far but still I strayed.
A stumble brief as blinking eye
But warped and coloured dark as night,
I gather the pieces, again I’ll try
To build this back again.
But I fell down today.
 
I saw myself today.
The first time since I turned away.
I met his stare and heard his part
The roaring of his playground heart,
I held his shame and all his scars
And finally found a way,
To take him in and claim as mine
The name I wouldn’t say.
