Quo Vadis?
Muscles ripple through gleaming skin
Beads form and sweat trickles
Down a furrowed brow.
Each move shows the ache
In the overstretched sinew
From the strain of the oar
And the burden of your toils
What keeps you going, traveler?
What heartache pumps your blood?
What keeps you rowing, sailor?
What siren tugs your towline?
Where do you wander, nomad?
What destination beckons?
