BEGINNING

BEGINNING 
© Oma Dok (Gail Doktor) 2022

If we had known
The journey we were about to undergo,
Would we have taken the first step?
Would we have dared the road?
Endured the sorrow for the joy?
Accepted the loss with the gain?
Expected the light break through the darkness?
Would we stand at this intersection
Of past and future
And choose “yes” again?
