fathering

this step strays. it wobbles, wanders, wonders about the next.
this step shifts. it feels new feels about what to expect.
this step disappears like some moments to time.
this step fades and blurs all the lines.
this step silences and listens and knows.
this step is with a sigh then follows and beholds.
this step collapses and reaches for support.
this step ages and remembers the start.
this step worries. it knows of the world.
this step waits and protects and easily unfurls.
this step loves without keeping a score.
this step, and this step, and this step loves you more.
