New poem: "Life's Blessed Drudgery"

 

Life’s Blessed Drudgery

 

That last step is the shortest,

but most difficult step you will ever

take out of the ten million and one

steps it took you to get there, that

joyful place you were destined to be,

your true self, resolved and free

of life’s blessed drudgery.

 

Composed in Tiny Beaches,

Georgian Bay, Southcentral, Ontario
