Humility

The suitcase carried all the reckless years
The wind suffered alongside a troubled trek
I want to ride back into the sunset
In the back of a pickup, 
high on the blessings of yesterday
Bury the blame, shave off the solitude,
 and cut the contestable bull$h*t
 One may arrive earnestly cloaked in brilliance
Others may crawl in unnoticed except for their hint of humility.
