Visions, apparitions, float over the paths before us
Success and victory a constant meditation
The word deep in our heart brings light to the darkened path
The journey without focus, lack of commitment, hopeless without dedication
Measuring the steps taken, wondering what has been accomplished
Life in general, day after day the blood flows through us
Questions unanswered finding their ending through understanding
The scene before you, the environment, your place in the world defined
Struggling, fighting, ignoring the pain, each mile gained one step closer
Many are lost, many never finish, many never begin
Your desire sets the foundation, your reason, your why, accomplishes the goal
No silver spoon to feed you, no knocks on your door offering golden checks
Waking, sweating, fighting the call that only slumber brings
Desire, the one true motivation, no excuses, no friendly hand to pull you on
The end visible, slowly sinking beneath the distant horizon.
Urgency quickens, cemented feet move into action, footsteps stretching further than before
Distant rays, moonbeams and twinkling stars larger than all that came before
Shooting stars burning, bright lights spread across the sky, eyes always watching
Hands empty, grasping for perches high above their grasp, last in line only on this day
What duty should be assigned? You know the consequences that comes with each moment
Day after day the path returns anew, fighting the darkness, fighting the unknown.
Meditations bring forth various colors, striking a chord within shallow hearts
Fists swing widely, missing the mark, far from the prying eyes of oblivion
Keep the faith, fight the good fight, with the end before you the end becomes the beginning.
Stumble forward, never give up, the first step now completes the goal taking shape.
Grasping visions slowly cross the finish line, stirring the soul to the end.
