The fog moves on...

The fog moves on...
Carl Sandburg
To understand any living thing, you must, so to say, creep within and feel the beating of its heart.
~ William (W.) MacNeile Dixon
from The Human Situation: The Gifford lectures delivered in the University of Glasgow, 1935-1937 (1937).

Crawling...

Crawling back from pain is
A long rocky road...
Or seems to be...
But your wings
Carry me
When I need them...

I know what you mean by this poem. And I've found it's true too - you sometimes need people to carry you... Thank you for putting it into words so beautifully.
