All it takes

All it takes

is a slit between trees

to catch a glimpse of a deer.

 

All it takes

is a slit in your trust

to let the fear in.

 

All it takes

is a slit in clouds

to let the sunshine through.

 

All it takes

is a glimpse of Beauty

to open your heart.

 

All it takes

is a wounded heel

for Achilles to die.

 

All it takes

is one single step

to start a 1000 mile journey.

 

All it takes

is a single candle

to keep the darkness away.

 

All it takes

is a single seed

for the tree to grow tall.

 

All it takes

is a single doubt

for you to stumble.

 

All it takes

is a single lie

to destroy the trust.

 

All it takes

is one weak link

to break the chain.

 

All it takes

is to underestimate

the little things.
