Fly Again

It's been awhile since we had some poetry... can you guess what it is about (no fair if you use the labels)?



And go…
Up the hill, perfect rhythm
Faster; knees higher.
Legs up down, knees up, up...
Step over, faster push it.

Up, down, up, down
Arms back and forth
Breathe in, breathe out.
That shouldn't be too hard.

Suddenly it is…
Technique, strides!
Slow down –pace.
Breathe in, it’s easy now.
Deep calm breathes.

Long strides,
push off move hard.
Smiles. Nods.
Point at the tree.
Last leg!
Little figures at the top of the hill.
An audience!

Sprint!
With ease…
With gasps…
Focus… the rhythm.

Back up the hill!
Push it! Push it!
Check arms/legs.
Knees up- go faster
All the way through, all the way up.
Was a hill ever so long?

Than suddenly-
I’m at the top.
One deep breathe
A smile.
Already ready to
Fly again.
