as my body became a surfer caressing
the high rolling waves of the impossible,
roaring as the deep surrender
of the ocean air I became
the fearless warrior conquering
relentless gladiators through the armor of spirit
and a toughness that shattered barricades
into mercy;
last night while dreaming,
I became the breakthrough on the collision
course with the wrecking ball of fear;
self-fear
threatening to break the glass shield
of determination glaring over the sea of strength.
Last night while dreaming,
I became the energy emerging
from lightning bolts exploding against
the steel bars of internal passion.
Last night while dreaming,
I became the greatest inspiration standing
as a champion, hand raised, in the middle
of a ring surrounded by the flames of hardship,
and last night while dreaming
I became the endorsement of victory embracing
every challenge as possible.
