Tumbleweed
Tumbleweed
(My Life B. C.)

I was drifting through life resembling tumbleweed
Encountering life’s challenges at each unseen bend.
I was just tumbling along paying things little heed
Propulsion was provided by the days prevailing wind
My vision had become clouded and I had a misplaced trust
Then my thoughts became consumed by things past tense.
My armor, while never shiny, was now devoured by rust
Cancer became my stopper, not some flimsy barbwire fence.
