Two-step

We all go as far as we can go. Sometimes we are propelled forward...despite ourselves.

A person near and dear to me

Got stuck at step two.

He was powerless

(He knew)

Somewhere there was hope

(He knew)

He never got to surrender.

Yet

He continued that two-step

Until he died.

I believe he gets it now.

I believe he was launched

The rest of the way.

Now

He gets it.
