Stellar Stability

i am getting there
not sure –
where ‘there’ is
but i know i am heading towards it
with it’s market stalls
and historic gifts
with it’s level access
and many lifts
i am getting there
peeling back the layers
of anxiety like a lid
a tin of hope
shaped like an olympic bid
i am getting there
further away,
from the seaports which feel muddled
away from self doubts
that act like muddy puddles
closer to stellar stability
decorated with your close cuddles
i am getting there,
no sure where ‘there’ is
but for now i am happy with this route
if i can manage my day
and avoid lacklustre suits
if i can keep walking
with solid state boots
i know, i know it will be fine
my confidence will continue to grow in the sun
and it will grow upon the rich lush vines
