Racing towards Inspiration...

Trying to find the inspiration

Digging deep for motivation

Craving for an inner sanction

 

She digs the front of her foot hard into the pavement

Stomping, shaping, fitting it into place

Tightening every loose end with her lace

Trying to grasp an enduring stance

Without a glance

She leaps forward

 

Sweat curses from every pore

Muscles sore

Aching for determination

Arms reaching with dedication

Grasping for the only satisfaction

Her tenacity is unbreakable

Yet she knows she’s reached her goal

Even before she has won

 

History is in the making

And she anticipates obtaining it

Accomplished, capable and competent

Adjusted, refined, ready to reveal her mind

It’s time we take her best to the test

As she sprints passed the finish line

 

And as she finally rests

Lying openly in a sassy green, genially serene

Wide open field

While exposing her enervated figure to the sun

Knowing that she has only yet begun

Her mind still racing of thoughts to come

Contemplating, concentrating on what comes next

I like the ideas behind this, racing towards goals, knowing what is to happen, the certainty that they will be accomplish, and wondering what will come next. Nonetheless nothing beats a good jog :)

Thank you for your kind review- and I agree, nothing beats a good run. It's the only time I can let go of everything and have some peace to myself. Again, thank you.

Inspiring- keep going, not only to win the race, but to put forth the effort... As another reader said, it applies to life...

Great poem!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is much more than a foot race, although it could be that...but as allegory...the race of life...she will reach her goals...she will sprint towards the finish line of life having achieved.

i also see this as a race to write...to find that inspiration..to let our pen take that foot forward...find achievement, serenity..sweat out the words that will make us feel whole in our writing strides...in our race to leave some kind of legacy behind...and writing is that.
