One Step

One step,
one simple step
forward
and the path unfolds,
unknown…
I become the thread
winding, twisting, searching…
I am Theseus,
blade drawn,
muscles straining,
stalking the centre lair
where transformation awaits…
I am Minotaur,
bellowing into the lonely night
lost between worlds,
the meeting of earth and sky,
man and beast waiting…
I am Ariadne,
weaving, spinning, heart yearning,
story lost in the centuries,
captured in stone
lining shore and hill,
deep within cathedral spires,
spinning across paper with compass poised…
I become
that moment
when time stops
and the world begins anew,
born from the path beneath my feet,
taken with that first step…
