A step

A step 

One foot in front of another

I close my eyes 

Took a deep breathe

Open the doors

And took a step

And another

I look up

The fleet of stairs

Should I?

It's time 

A step

One foot in front of another

Gently familiarising myself

Fingers caressing the walls

Full of stories, of memories 

Another step closer 

The voice of Lara 

Warmth 

I close my eyes again

This time with certainty 

I'm ready 

A dance studio

As i move 

My body remembers 

Music and dance 

My heart moves 

My body remembers 

I close my eyes 

Filled with gratitude 

For opening the doors again

And taking a step

A step

In a direction I have long forgotten

Long put on hold

A step

Back to embracing

The little girl with a love for music and dance
