Penalty of a twist
As it sorted all that was betwixt
Herding the lessons in the way
It meant to cover all those who stayed.

The dearth of sensibilities
Made an ambition worth living
Driving through the coals
There's so much to hold on for.

A walk is all it takes
In the journey to proceed towards fate
The will to continue
Even as fires burn beneath you.

Trivial the pace seems
Efforts are all that really mean
Tiny, insignificant steps along
We are in it for the long haul.
