Tribulations by jaybird1

Companions gone, my friends are few
and tribulations start anew.
A deadly virus rules the land,
I have no choice but sink or stand.

There is no easy pathway here,
no chance for hope to banish fear.
Reaching life's summit's what I seek,
but I am lost, confused and weak

Struggling upward is my goal,
but it has cast a bitter toll.
Though I am weak, I must go on
and pass the weaker ones, now gone.

The weak among us always fail-
My goal, the apex on this trail.

April-2021

Author Notes
Although I had had my vaccine shots I remain very concerned.There
are so many unknown factors.- jaybird
