Life Spurs

9/3/09

We're being ridden,

are the ride

and rider also,

though there's pause

to survey direction

or re-adjust saddle

evaluate our position

while aligning posture,

it's still considered

essential in sequence

within whole journey,

even when dismounting

setting up homestead

making a stand

rooting in ground,

there is motion

forever changing circumstance

to test balance

challenge one's stamina

as to if

core courage nature

can endure hardship,

brambles, thorns, cuts,

when blazing path

through unknown territory

boldly persevering as

life spurs on.
