Along a fog smothered trail

He ponders the destination and what it might entail

Looking back through the hazy curtain

He feels as though this path was always certain

While it turned and twisted and tumbled about

The journey sometimes felt like falling backwards as if the ground had suddenly fallen out

Now looking forward with the summit in view

The course opens up with the trees glistening with dew

There is an unsettling confidence that this is what he was meant to do
