Finishing the Unfinished

The coarse is ahead.

The shoes are laced.

One step leads to another.

No memory is erased.

There is quiet among the crowd,

yet there is great cheer in the air.

Each person stares at moments

and captures what they care.

More so is the desire

to find a way discover something new.

Some people pass by,

and others run along and through.

There is so much to be gained

among a finish

which once was not attained,

and yet, still never diminished.

There was pain and struggle

in a journey so long and deep.

And here is the run

that your heart will forever keep.
