Dancing to quick beats
Chancing on tough feats
Skiing down those treacherous dips
Freeing from the tightest of all grips
Despite numerous scars very meticulously hidden
Respite and self pity here are stringently forbidden
Such is the undying strength of human determination and grit
Worthy of stupefied awe, admiration and praise on life’s pulpit

From deep down, to top
A steep precarious tread
Peak is right ahead

From ashen to glow
Streams of heart and soul emerge
As rich passions surge

From darkness to light
Watching the expanse unwind
Candles lit in mind

From out there to here
A prize well deserved and earned
That past has been burned

From navy to pink
Color palettes in motion
Works like love potion

From bottomless pits
Unable to break a fall
Place of no recall

To shining new heights
Fresh with a bold new flavor
For you to savor

Such is this journey
From tense night to intense day
A life on display
