Ashes of dreams - The Cockney Bard
The trials and tribulations of a human being.
The exhaustion and exuberation of pulling defeat from the flames of fire.
The pain, the anguish of loss, the barren self.
The drive and enthusiasm to be all that you can.
The fickle hours, those endless hours to achieve a goal.
Running with ecstasy, falling with optimism's flawed dream.
The hope filled challenge of the Olympian to achieve first prize.
Becoming God like in a supreme test of will, determination and courage.
Challenging the body and spirit to reach unprecedented heights.
The exhausted, elated, pain ridden, defeated, deflated,
emotional being, the athlete, driven by their quest to succeed.
In a search for perfection, resurrecting the eternal flame
from the ashes of dreams.
