Desperate eyes
Struggling for attention
Peering through the twilight
Desiring connection
Yet not ready to sacrifice security
And step into the light.
Years pass
Before they make an awkward move.
Half a step forward
And three hurried steps back
Is no progress
But it’s still an honest attempt.
Will they beat fear to try again soon?
Or will the squirrels in their heads
Chatter them away?
Will the bear growls scare them off?
Or will wolf howls bring them together
With the unknown they always desired
To be a part of?
