The road dissolves

Into murky gloom

As we move forward

Into what we cannot see

Nature follows us

Or we follow her moods

Walking our path

Regardless

Whether the sun smiles down

Or winds try to force us back

We step out

With the will to continue

Unbroken

Though our surfaces

May be scarred and cracked

But light of foot

Headed for our true north

Always ~ Caroline A. Slee
