Flying

I didn’t expect

The difficulty of flying

Hard work and long days

Turn to sore muscles

And mind blocks that sting your brain

Gnaw at your senses

Until you want to give up

It’d be easier

But you don’t….for spite

So you keep running

Shoes ticking on the pavement

Sweat In your eyes

Until you find one day

That you were so focused on the finish

You didn’t notice you’d learned to fly.
