Be bold, be resolute
act directly without pause, without deceit

Aspire for clear purpose
without a reward,
an arrow, without a target
seeking perfection

How can you breath such air,
at a low altitude?
How can you feel such fear,
at a safe distance?

We all want the drama of failure
the electric hum of risk (in our ears)
to overcome the hesitation, to get past the self imposed careful...
that is the hurdle we set up in front of ourselves
overandoverandover again.

I want a life that makes it hard on me,
that creates struggle
I fear only my demise, the end of challenges.
