Life's Cascade
May 11, 2016
Waters whisk me away
The dreaded depths conceal wondrous treasures
Solitude
Departing the sanctuary of home
Without a second glance
My trickling resolve tried
By the fading sun in the golden horizon
Fear
Hurtling through the daunting river canyon
Of skyscrapers looming above me
Navigating the perplexing labyrinth
Of ceaseless streets
Determination
Pervades the brackish air
To conclude the perilous Odyssey
Hope
Within the swelling tide of companions
Crashing and spraying on the pristine shore
The tempest subsides
I have arrived
