Lonna Blodgett Poet Free verse

Lion In Water

I am a lion in the water
A bird struggling in the mud
I'm a horse trapped in the stall
A spider's prelude before the web
A wolf pacing before the hunt
A snail climbing Everest

I am the energy that supersedes the deed
I am the champion of its release

I am the fastest
The strongest
The most industrious
Of all around me

For I know the secret of hesitation
The powerful build-up of intention

I am the moment of singular focus
The third eye that can see beyond the now

I am the goal
I am the athlete
To make it happen
In the moment

TOTIS VIRIBUS
