Over and Again
...a bit of wisdom from Sunnen Lake.
Wet,
a little bit cold
and a lot tired,
but already
a better man than
when I arrived.
I told myself,
before telling my wife,
I’d come home renewed
and reinvigorated
once I collected
my true self.
Then I often find
I don’t have to go so far
away from my home
to gather all the pieces
of my being.
Yet for some reason,
I must make this journey
over and over again.
