trailblazer It's a picturesque scene: me in the wooded glen Just me surrounded by forest: no women, no men At first I look to the sky but the trees block my view So I look instead to the ground and with what my feet can do I take a small step forward just a teensy tiny step and suddenly I'm running and I'm almost out of breath and suddenly I'm invincible and I intend to stay I follow no path yet I still know the way I call myself the trailblazer mud smeared on my face ready to receive the world and achieve my mighty place © Dana L. 2013
