Words will carry us somehow
toward the clear, cold, pure, untouched spring....
out of thick foliage stumbling...
arms thrashing, cursing, confused...
panting for air...
a conversation of sorts
a kind of speech that follows upon chaos
scratches, cuts and the ripping of socks...
a confused running, a sprint...
down the uninvited path
each a dead end with paradise in view
brown barks, Nature's fence...
sharp and prickly, walls of green
the creepers rising up at us,
harsh branches...
savage vines to trip upon...
a blazing sun, the mind-fogging heat...
I want to say that words can save us...
heralding togetherness and a plan of sorts...
Diving in water, exuberant,
the goal of hydration, rest, some much-needed healing relaxation...
the time redeemed...
Yet something else then and there
at the moment of crisis..
yanks the mind into gear
a gravity of necessity....
just some garble of unremembered toil...
