Last Night While Dreaming

I must’ve dozed off into the ease of a new sunlight
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.
