Eggshells narrowly escape
feet awkwardly crash between
And the load shouldered
precious, fragile, teetering
New terrain, strangely familiar
strange turns
through pit holes and trenches
gradually climbing
A torch for the feet
a necessary comfort
The direction unknown
just press on up
The terrain is rugged
But the load shouldered
precious, fragile, balanced
Is not shouldered alone
feet awkwardly crash between
And the load shouldered
precious, fragile, teetering
New terrain, strangely familiar
strange turns
through pit holes and trenches
gradually climbing
A torch for the feet
a necessary comfort
The direction unknown
just press on up
The terrain is rugged
But the load shouldered
precious, fragile, balanced
Is not shouldered alone
