Traveling through time waiting for the end <br />The end of what! <br />The end of the uneven road to the top <br />Fighting vigorously, The sweat of my face sparkles <br />sparkles with luminescence <br />sparkles with stars of proud spirit <br />Further in the distance, further i must go <br />Collapsing like a glacier under the scorching sun <br />Further, further yes i know <br />The blood in my eyes talks to me, it says <br />I am tired i am weak but i must, i must go <br />Further <br />Further <br />Endurance i wear like a strong pair of sandals <br />With them i walk long and journey further, yes Further! <br />Failure circles me like a hungry crow <br />Seeking to eat my flesh and peck on my bones <br />The horizon stands like a glimmering table of marble <br />Holding only what seems to be the impossible <br />My last ounce of energy rises higher than the sun at mid day <br />Yes higher than the full moon on a cloudless night <br />It Pushes me just one last time, pushes me Further <br />Yes further<br /><br />Allen Steble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-further-you-go/
