Right step



Make the first right step
And the sun will show you light
When the night time comes

About this poem

Action they say speaks louder than voice but it is not just any kind of action that speaks so loud, rather, it is the right action step made at the right time and in the right direction. This is the kind of action that commands respect from both man, nature and the supernatural. This is an encapsulation of this Haiku.
