Hatmattan - a Season of Hope

Gather all you can Even through the harmattan  Oh It's annoying hay fever! And the cracked lips it serves Cough all you may Sneeze it all out For it's only an ephemeral reminder Of the fortitude we have within That we get bent somehow Maybe cracked By the elements of life But never broken So shiver not Hang in there Eyes on the skies, chest out It's only for a season Breathe deep And suit up Take the giant strides anyways Through the fog Soon you'll find you've garnered Even through the apparent cracks And the broken system Strength immeasurable Ineffable joy and clarity That it was never a destination But a story of growth and purpose One of a bright and beautiful people  Too dazed by their own light To break through the systemic fog Clouding the apparent vision Of the designer's perfect circus of life.
