Traveling Through Adversity In Search of Clear Skies

I have walked for months

That turned to years

Upon these neglected streets

And left trails of salty tears

That somehow leaked

Through my closed eyes

Waiting/ wanting

For a bracing surprise

 

Still I

 wait as I move

Without much

I cannot prove

To be worthy

of this air

blinded by the sun's

angry glare

 

With steady steps

On a crooked path

Often receiving the

Fierce wind's wrath

Where I'm headed

I do not know

Just figuring it all out

As I go

 

I've come

Such a long way

I have seen blue skies

Transform to gray

Then back to blue

Yet I am no where near

Where I want to be

And this fills me with fear

 

I have walked without stopping

 for a seat

I have traveled with

tired feet

in wanting shoes

Full of holes

and

worn out soles

 

This journey has been long

Still I persist

Sometimes crawling

on knees and wrists

relent?

No, I do not dare

Because I know in time

I will make it there
