Train Wreck

Train wreck of a year
Called Twenty Twenty One ends
Twenty Twenty Two

Too?

I make my way
Down channeled paths
Wending through
Hardship and trouble

To overcome
My flow adjusts
Weaves a line
Ofttimes turbulent

While rocks and stumps
Which interfere
I push aside
With force of will determinant

And rest I may
In respite of pools and lakes
To carry on with grace aplomb
Through demise and rubble

I follow
The land’s flow
Over swell
And hollow

This sea of soil
Calls out to
Hard men

Sailors of
The grasslands

Content to be at sea

I find my way
Through the rockiness
Down the icy steeps
Traversing the flats

Along the way
Seeking the deep powder
The cruisable hard pack
The soft moguls

The challenge
Is not so much the hardships
But remembering
What trandscending
The hardships brings

I turn the brightness up
Raise myself out of the depths
The mire
The hardship
Out of the confusion
And disorientation
If only for a moment

Breathe

Like coming up for air
In the tumult
Of crashing surf
Before the wave
Takes me under
