glass

i walk barefoot on a glass lined trail.
terrified it may shatter under my weight.
deep wounds may scar leaving me unable to walk again
many turns yet my forward moving line is clear.

my confusion - where / whether to turn and what pace to make - rooted in his.
his confusion - rooted in his.

then i feel the heavy callouses.
and understand i can still move forward.
why then am i so scared?
