What Is?

Marvelous

Metronomed

Silent but traceable

Ahead of its emotions calling

Pushing for growth without panic

A recipe discarded

A new one forged in retrospect

Panic

Edit mercilessly

Sink

Swim

Sigh

Read

Cross the finish line half naked,

Parched,

Still singing

Ever painting

Running shoes

From reality

Burning

A poem
