The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Winds behind their travels

Pushing them along

Motivation shoveling the dirt

Off the rocky road

Ripping the weeds away

From the crumbling building

Pouring the crystal water

On the cracked dry desert floor

Endurance pulling the depths of their befuddled souls

Through their rough journey

Dried earth caked to their dresses

Sunburned palms from lying on the ground

A Burnt Offering

The endless wondering

Blisters and calloused feet

Never able to stop

Always going

Trying to find the one place

Where they belong

Moving from town to town

Bed sheets to bedposts

Never laying in the comfort for too long

Friends never seen again

Leaving with the rain storm

Winds behind their travels

Pushing them along

Hi there,

 

I liked the restlessness of this, the force of movement that resonates throughout. I enjoyed the way that you reflected both the compulsion to move and the necessity of moving along - when you don't belong.

 

Thank you for posting,

 

C. :)
