Blistered toed and aching arches
Nevertheless pace round and round
Trudge toward reduced aggravation
Outside of endless sound contentious
Hustled, with aim endorphins raising
Buy dismal environs perilously downed
Insistent, maintaining body’s wholeness
Head, to shoulders, firmly re-bound
Distracted by inner tumult, defiant
Not in sorrow will she be drowned
Sunstruck, moonstruck by turns
Adoring nature’s wonder in open surround
Slower face up, breathing deep
Hopeful center will be found
