we
fall so far that the first sign of light
awakens
us to shaking and to pain
not
ready but we face it all again
there
was no comfort in the arms of night
we
got it wrong so gelid is our plight
yet
these are things that no one need explain
each
is quite normal not a one's arcane
for
suffering's a universal rite
what
each must do is take up the hard load
of
human courage as if it were new
and
clasp it tightly without much regret
accept
that this is one rough stony road
that
comes with sorrow and no good long view
and
all is paid with labour and cold sweat
