Assailed kindred spirit,
what cheered you on
in the dropped cloud days?
You know,
seeming impassable mountains
can be befriended,
even if the footing is uneasy.
Rocks can be negotiated
in sheer avoidance
of a confidence bruised,
giving early notice of
the last avalance to dodge
before falls block the trail.
Did the pathside whisper on,
“Don’t tread so heavily,
follow your heart’s compass?”
