Initiative Poem by Atef Ayadi

your first response,
your first emotion,
your first thought,
your first belief,
your first question,
your first Answer,
your first compass,
your first map,
your first stop for reflection,
your first dream,
your first breath,
your first denial,
your first setback,
your first exploration,
your first commitment,
your first smile,
your first admiration,
your first deep sleep,
your first beautiful dream,
your first listening
your first gaze appreciation, and
your first quite and slow talk

is an initiative.

being responsible is simply a response
to an initiative.
