I Wish the Nights Would Last Forever
I wish the nights would last forever —
The solace of the silence
Reach further into my soul.
The emptiness around me
Those asleep tucked in tight.
Me — the only one knowing
What happens in the night:
The rabbits nibble
The owls hoot
The raccoons forage
The trees shimmer.
Beautiful in their existence
And I but one to notice.
And that is the magic of the nights.
CrossFit Poem: Wallballs in the Dark
Wallballs in the Dark
Fall leaves rustle
Background music
Moonlight shines
Can’t choose and pick.
Sprint to the finish
Grind through the course
Squat and push
Reps are the force.
Snatch and catch
Push and pull
Euphoria?
Bliss in the lull.
CrossFit Poems: Moons and Me
Sweat beads
Like sparkling diamonds.
Moon shines
Soliciting attention.
Heart rate slows
Thirst appeased.
I’m alive.
Quintessential contentment.
Again and again and again…
Never stopping till life does.
Moving, striving, reaching…
Till all achieved.
But will it ever be?
The Magic of the Mornings…
Under the Big Dipper
Nothing but sky
The Immensity of Nature
Overwhelms the Eye.
Silence….
It reigns.
Breathing…
The gains.
Sunlight invades
“Go away!”
“You’re ruining the moments!”
I curse the gray.
Hard work and sweat
Is the stuff dreams are made of
The feeling I get?
Like the shivers of first love.
Ode To Alex
One word: Tireless
Two words: Amazing grace
Incessantly upbeat
Creating a carefree place.
Known as “Mr. Double Under”
Watch out!
“Here Comes the Thunder!”
Open–
Most of the time
Amenable–
Except on burpee grind
“Change the WOD?” I say.
“Sure, why not?”
“Add 100 burpees,” he says
My stomach inevitably knots.
Afterwards, I can’t breathe
“Well, it was a good idea,” I say.
“Until I consulted you.”
(Note my look of dismay).
Talkative–
Understatement?
Mindful of others–
Committed 100 percent
Passionate–
To say the least
Dedicated–
Energy that never ceased.
Attentive–
The smallest detail
Encouraging–
“You didn’t fail.”
Kind–
Always a smile
No matter the circumstance
Or the trial.
Serious?
Occasionally
Competitve
Invariably.
Funny?
Depends who you ask
It’s hard to laugh
When you need an oxygen mask.
Seriously—
Alex you can depend
Most importantly,
He’s a friend.
Happy Birthday, Alex!!
Response To Change…
RESPONSE TO CHANGE
Conflicted as the night
Troubled—to the point of flight
Heavy-hearted—that is true.
More accurately—very blue.
Nothing fun in change.
Rocking the boat—always strange.
“Wait and see.”
Blah! I’d rather plea,
“Say it ain’t so.”
I can’t deal as you know.
Luckily, time never stops
Ending all the flips and flops.
“Could be better than you imagine”
I believe that as much as a dragon.
Nothing to do
I have no clue.
Helpless—
And on I press.
Written when I found out my box was being sold to new owners.
