Struggle On – A Poem

Hiking In The Snow

Snow falling on cedar logs My breath visible to my eyes Clouds laden with their heavy load Floating heavily in the skies

Stamping feet on the forest floor Blowing warm breath in my hands Trying desperately to keep warm As I struggle home

My friends are somewhere else In this interminable landscape Although we all came together We are now spread wide

Winter hikes amid winter weather Walking in the snow When the weather closes in Which direction to walk I no longer know

Still, I keep walking And the snow keeps falling But I have no choice now But to struggle on

I’m sure I will find my way home If I struggle on Life is full of hardship But we struggle on
