Take the U-turn

Take the U-turn

Climb hard straight ahead,
then take a sharp U-turn to the right.
The rock wall in front of you will
block your path, the one you have
been following so assiduously, hardly
considering whether it makes sense
or not anymore, that decision you made
long ago that seemed right
at the time.
Take the U-turn, or
you will be blocked by the wisdom
of the ages, manifestation of
millennia laid down, pushed up
then worn by wind and water,
natures’ decisions taken, reversed,
cracked, recast and formed into
an unequaled beauty. Take the U-turn
and learn from Her wisdom.
