That’s the way it is with trouble
Sometimes It just comes knocking
Collateral damage
Sometimes it diligently courts
Then it’s true
Some trouble is more troublesome than some
I had never dreamt of a lifetime as a swimmer
And definitely not in the dominion of mermaids
Mermaids of the deep
And wheels
It all began with one wrong decision
That early morning
On the fateful day unforgettable
Of the famous
Now infamous operation
`
Sealed fate is just that
Sealed
For he is before all things
We were on the road
Top priority in scale
Lightening speed motion progression
Not that it was necessary
But then as fate would have it
Old habits die hard
We were hot
Really
In pursuit
`
When morning came
There it was
Displayed before our bewildered eyes
Incredible
Technology unprecedented
Majestic
First wonder of the world
Ancient
Modern
But how had they done it
Overnight
And how could we simply let go of this glorious opportunity
In broad daylight
Sight beheld was enough to instantly suck dry
Every trace of breath in us
We needed to make a decision
Better still seal our fate
And pronto
There was only one option on the table
Pursue
`
The Blazing Trail beckoned
So vividly it was burning our eyes
Invite glowing with magnificence overflowing
Why did it feel like the sound of good-bye
Decoy
We beheld spectacle
Much reverence and awe in inner saturate
In a moment
One fleeting glance
We were past point of no return
Hot
In pursuit
`
Hot
In pursuit
Of a peculiar people
Embraced
By a live eternal wave
Hemmed in the Trail
As they steadily crossed over to safety
Sojourners
In universal stride
Oblivious of our presence ominous
Closing in rapidly from the rear
That was
Just before it all took a drastic turn
And trouble closed in
Suddenly
In troublesome fashion
As the walls came thundering in on us in decisive seal
It was to a long life
Among mermaids of the deep
And wheels
Of chariots
