thinking about the future. hoping to forget the past. struggling through the now.
no matter what. my heart beats strong. my spirit pulses free. my mind journeys beyond the moment.
a runner. waiting for the perfect race. counting down the seconds. taking the pose. head bowed. knees arched. fingers pressed into the earth.
ready?
set?
the world crawls to an aching stillness.
all of creation fixes into perfect silence.
the pop hits the air
stay the course
keep focused
pound the dirt until every limb burns
win.
there is no other choice
i can’t stop
until i touch the void
step across the finish
bring down the boundaries
break the binds
see the eternal light
i am
victorious.
