Without a ray.
Earth so big
like a directionless walkway.
Quivering with fear
I stepped ahead.
The road was bare,
I felt so unaided
to step back.
I stood still
In the middle of puzzle.
Wrapped in my own arms,
eyes wide open,
I looked nowhere.
Air became moist
As I blinked,
a droplet came down,
kissing my cheeks.
Suddenly the little drop stopped.
It was a pearl
Quiescent on a soft hand.
As I looked up,
I saw a smile.
"I knew you would be there...always".
Again sheathed in arms,
with a hug this time.
We walked the road,
to a new creation.
To a new Bearing...
PS- This was the first poem I posted on my long abandoned blog - Merry Subdued Happiness way back in August 2009. Posting it here again in response to IndiSpire Prompt
