I have briefly caught sight of the other side of yesterday, blinded by the sun, while running barefoot across a field of thorns I'll carve a path through weeds and stones, to reach a childhood memory. Inspired by Andrea's Contest: Glorious Sijo Fields 1/31/15 Resubmitted for Brian Strand's Contest: # 201
