Ravenstrikex — The Step

Screaming
I saw your hand and turned away.
That
Moment never left my chest.
Who if
Not me?
If not now.
I owe this
World a brave step.
Small in this world
But vast within
A Viking heart must turn again
I heard one voice behind the crowd.
I kept my face turned straight ahead.
My hands were free, my feet still moved.
I whispered someone else
Will stay.
No one did
I knew that true
It followed every step
I took
I remember
I know that weight
I carried mine.
I took that step.
I still remember.
We feared one heart changed
Too little
So both our hands remain beside us.
The shame grew louder than our fear
I will not leave
Beside that shame.
I will not watch
And walk away.
I cannot hear god but
I can reach one human hand.
Let's
See her speak.
I still return
Let my first step become the sign
