Quiet Acquiescence

Chance wanders west hoping to forget
and simplify.  It’s a long and often desperate journey to
right now fraught with fear and failure. 
Sympatico’s journey is much the same only imposed
by the will of wicked men.  

Risk is nothing more than an instinct to survive
measured against a willingness to move all in.

Pursued by the emptiness of night,
Chance retraces decisions controlling
his destiny while Sympatico long ago forged
a barrier between herself and the past.
There are no words to capture pain; no
language for loss. . .which is why God created 
quiet acquiescence.
