Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Marathoning

in the marathon of life
milestones
sprints
coastings
downhills
uphills
the last miles

the most precious
being the captain of our vessel
guiding it to the finish line
steering
with pride and
determination
going the distance
heading in the right direction

David Mchattie October 1, 2019 at 8:50 PM Lovely poem my friend. I am always amazed at the things people want... when all they need is a 'rudder.' Have a great day my friend. Line Gauthier October 1, 2019 at 9:40 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, David.

Andrea Dietrich October 1, 2019 at 3:29 PM Yes, life is quite the marathon, one that we all keep running with high hopes of winning!(that can mean different things to different people) I like this metaphor,Line.
