Mark W. Poet Couplet

Poke The Darn Bear

There is plenty of times to stay in my lane
To try and beat my own PR on the same course

However now is not the time to rest on my laurels
Not time to simply add edifice to what I’ve mastered

Growth requires pruning and sometimes replanting
Cutting deeper into the halls of unknown

My mind and body have healed with a gap
A gap on a tree for a new branch to bloom

A season to grow so I can later on sow
Muscles do not grow unless the routine is thrown

My soul pines to be put to a new test
The lord gave us stem cells for a reason
