Reps

Written 05/19/17

Legs pumping

Mind counting

One, two

Three, four

Focused fully

muscles firing off

burning sensation

Seven eight

nine ten

Stop

Rest. Repeat.

Pausing, gaining motivation

to the next rep

Refocus, re-engage

Renew

Music pounding in ears,

drowned out by the beat

of a heart in a chest,

drum beats reverberating

Air pumping, breathing

sweat trickiling as water from

a leaf in the humid air

This is life

Riding the pleasure

and the pain

Overcoming when you are down,

still moving

a heart that beats

still for another day

Another sunrise.

Growning stronger,

fitter, wiser

Choosing health

over sickness

Movement over sloth

Discipline over laziness

Keep moving

for the next sunrise
