we strive to achieve it
our rightful place
the only way to describe it is "there"
our bodies the canvas
our feet the brush
our hearts soar to meet it
breath stops
silence reigns
seconds stretch to days
we get "there" only to lose it again
the pain returns
words turn sharp
pointed barbs aimed straight to the heart
"there" is a place
where few can attain
the peace that is beauty
and the price that is pain
