Muddy As

Boldness may cover a proud heart

as it tramps into thick obstacles

One’s naiveté their undoing.

 

But in innocence we plod on

courage our thin lined support

for rappelling down slippery inclinations.

 

Vision obstructed no matter the direction is not a sign to stop.

For amidst the muck are silver arrows

placed in obscurity to discover.

 

And they will guide you to bubbling creeks and refreshing waters

blocked only by stormy slips

where you have not cleared out resentment’s rubble.

 

Dig your hands into those unknown murky waters

and pull out the rocks that have sliced you.

 

The residue may be muddy as

but a clear heart will be your source

to return new water to those you love.
