Striving Onward

Striving Onward…

Cascading meandering rivers
flow toward destination.

Drunken promises—
painful hangovers		
of political rain checks. 

Lingering dreams—
unforgotten nightmares
teasing hope.

Every u-turn
is not necessarily
a change in destination.

Meander if we will; but
must purpose.

Bewildered 
                         Bleeding
Blind justice
	holds her waning breath                      

A tortuous journey
yet flows towards destination.
