deep and wide
this river i must float
(though fording i'd prefer)
swirling eddies
mark its dangerous
course
and how long to reach
the distant bank?
traversing these sharp rocks
and slippery stones,
i must tread carefully.
and having arrived,
will i find
my wagon train's
moved on
and their trail grown cold?
