Struggle On – A Poem
Hiking In The Snow
Published in

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
