The Olympian


The sun rises bright and beautiful
The morning air crisp and snappy
The air cold
The sun hot
Upon my face
The crisp air tighten my lungs
Breathe out to cloud the sun
Snow slushes against my boots
Wetness flings forward from my boots
Road slippery when wet
Sky pink, bright and beautiful
Mountain’s snow capped gorgeous
Sunshine glows off the snowcaps

Breath in, Breath out
Rhythmical
Move left
Move right
Move up
Move down
Rhythmical

Against a person
Or
Against a clock
Doing your best
Rhythmical

Striving to accomplish the greatest
To be the best
To be the greatest
Of all time
Or
Just that split
Rhythmical

 

Reaching for the goal that was set
Just out of reach
That goal must be scattered to pieces
Rhythmical

The goal must be surpassed
Left in the dust
Rhythmical

Breath in, Breath out
Air cold
Sun hot
Breathing in…tightens the lungs
Rhythmical…
Rhythm
