A cinematic, realistic image, set in the desolate, muddy expanse of the Texas Cross Timbers in 1840. The scene captures the return leg of the Chihuahua Traders Trail. Several heavy, wooden Conestoga wagons are hopelessly mired in deep, dark mud, pulled by straining, distressed oxen and mules. Merchants and teamsters in rugged, damp frontier clothing are struggling, using poles and ropes to try and free a wagon wheel.

In stark contrast, a group of bewildered and exasperated American equestrian circus performers, dressed in bright, slightly tattered stage costumes (e.g., a sequined acrobat, a rider in a velvet jacket, a clown attempting to keep his white makeup clean), stand nearby. They are trying to keep their fine horses and props (perhaps a small, colorful tent piece or a drum) out of the worst of the mire. The sky is overcast and oppressive, reflecting the damp, miserable conditions. The overall lighting should be dark and moody, emphasizing the frustrating five-week delay. Wide-angle shot, photorealistic quality, historical accuracy, dark realism.

Now, those captains must learn what the river will do
when it makes that great turn out of sight.
How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore
How it spins to the left and the right.
It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride
Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside
‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride
lying flat on their deck in the sun.
There they lie, drying out in the sun.

As you round the point where the river was bent
and survey the great wideness ahead,
you can see all those captains alone on their decks,
beat and broken and very near dead.
Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do
as it drags you down into its maw.
Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash
but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw.

Going back and away, then forward again,
fearing each time, the rocks will prevail!
You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide,
in an eddy withstanding a gale.
But each time you circle that great whirling tide
and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side
and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide,
for the eddy’s small mercy give praise.
Give the merciful currents your praise!
