Poem #242 Shoulder

Updated: Jun 19, 2023


We pull away from the shoulder,

fearing a collision that is unlikely to happen.

In our anxiety

we over correct to the otherside

we draw closer to the edge of the lane

toward the accident we feared in the first place.

What if we brave the shoulder instead?

What if we swallowed our doubts and fears

and kept trucking ahead?

I believe our journey would

be full of Joy instead.
