I Continue

The sharp edges of the rocks tear into my naked flesh.

The wind hisses around my body

I continue

I am unable to relent.

Something is calling me, trying to lure me.

I continue

I am transfixed

Unable to look away

I continue

I feel the sting of the cold water on my skin

Pushing through

I continue

Slippery dark sandstone beneath my feet now

Balance unraveled

I continue

I pull myself upwards onto the banks

Dead crunchy leaves crackle underfoot.

I continue

The force to strong

Deeper I travel

Searching
