william upton - Marathon
The great endurance of life. <br />Weathering storms, <br />Chasing dreams, <br />Turning back tides. <br />Hearts and souls cleansed from within <br />Through faith, communication, and exercise. <br />Freed from the accumulated stress of life. <br />Starting up again, fresh...new. <br />The personality replenishment of a warm, sunny day. <br />Hopes we chase over rainbows. <br />Elusive, yet within our stretch. <br />The heartbreak and the healing, <br />The character building within the emancipation. <br />The fury and the rage. <br />The daily challenge to replenish <br />The will, the desire, the strength <br />For the seemingly insurmountable mountain climbs, <br />For the marathon struggles that numb and break any will power to go on. <br />This great endurance of life. <br />This magnificent daily rebounding of spirit.<br /><br />william upton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marathon-2/
