Midnight sprint

that moment you know
you just gotta give it a shot?

when your heart is pumping
harder, faster than you can handle

blood rushing through your arteries
electrifying harmonious cacophony

going for it, going for it, going for it
and you go for it!

fibers of your muscles all over your body
bursting like booster rocket fire
rugged breath roaring unceasingly

at the end of the dark road,
you seat by your bike,
catching a respite in incognito

Hike

there are many peaks to attack
but only one set of feet to hike

studiously climbing haphazardous mountains
you would think that it would be only a day
yet the peaks are ever further away

brooding crows perched in tree branches
quick sand giving away the ground
one too many are the hostilities here

carry lightly and stay awake
bears and snakes are nearby and home is a far way to go.
