I am an April Fool

I'm doing NaPoWriMo. That's all I have to say about that for now.

The Road Oft Travelled

I reach the apex and
The pillar that marks my destination
Appears from behind the obstructions.

I feel my heart rise and
The scarlet sea with its daily test
Fails to silence the rhythm.

I fare the alternate and
The strategy which spurs the journey
Awakens the fire inside.
