Crossing over,
a bridge,
new spaces discovered
unknown first,
familiar next
growing continues
speedily some,
slowly other,
the path one
meets the heart.
Beseech the moment
blessed is wonder
tears bitter sweet
release the need,
avoid pain
no words refrain
thoughts smirk
emotions murky
hold down the will.
The crossing,
event surreal
breaks the mirth
weakened  fear
no turning back
arrows point
ahead.
