Miles

Have walked so very many miles
Sometimes without shoes
In-roads, off-roads, uphill, downhill
Doomed, if ever still

Stumbling in the best of times
Running in the worst
Crawling through the least of crimes
Warding off the curse

Hurling when all hope was lost
Compelled by perpetual motion
Evolution, the hefty cost
Change as deep as ocean

Doomed, if ever still
Onward ho

Head held high

Victory to the fill.
