One In A Million

One in a million
Odds against my back
Laughter in my face
Winds at my side

A million eyes
Staring through
A blank canvas
Thirsty for paint

Isolation and dismay
The process of shrinking
Transparency my cloak
Dressed for battle

Aimed for triumph
Justified failure
A million to one
Odds are against me

Seasoning
Like a marinade
Preparation is key
Battle: me – in progress

Soft guitars
Strum melodies of famine
Pluck notes of fulfilment
In dresses of oil

Last man standing
In the tunnel sans light
Back roads and country smells
Soothe until regressed
