2nd
A walk in second will seem like first
But a careless foot will bring the worst
Blurring vision and hazy grey
Hides gaping holes seeking prey
Counted steps need known by heart
For only they will create safe path.
Take only ten steps when approaching the gate
For eleven steps will seal your fate
A current stronger than rivers flow
Creates a whirlpool into deep unknown
With uttered words the swirling stills,
Steps leading to 3rd if walker wills
