Burn

The burn to live, dream and march on ahead despite the odds

Feel it in your soul,

Feel it in the air,

Feel it everywhere.

The reason your heart
Keeps pounding away
at every beat.

Surging, bursting forward…

The way your breath catches,

And your lungs burn,

From the fatigue,

Clawing away,

At your worn out,

Sleep deprived mind.

Bleary drowsy,

Sleep deprived eyes,

Waiting and watching,

For a sign,

For a hint of victory.

For the warm welcome,

Of success and accomplishment,

From all those drops,

Of blood, sweat and tears,

The sum of all your fears,

And broken dreams,

And shattered hopes,

And abundant disappointment,

Gifted to you,

By those you need the most,

In lieu of support and strength,

To keep you from drowning,

To keep you from sinking towards

The deep dark unknown…

Finally vanquished,

Finally laid to rest.

Finally…it’s your time,

To revel,

And to emerge,

Singed, honed and rebuilt,

Stronger than ever before,

From the forges of Hell,

Feel it burn through you,

As you forge ahead,

On towards your destiny,

Towards your path to Heaven.

Hey! Firstly thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time out to voice an opinion, means a lot. Rock song huh? That's one helluva imagination!!! Hats off to your creative vision my friend :), my slightly tone deaf one can't seem to conjure anything :(, but it's always awesome to try and visualize or audiolize (in this case, and, yes I create random new words) things as others perceive them. Thanks again!
