Questions
Is it when you see the whisp of light
starting to come into sight? Is it when the
destination you had imagined being starts
to fade? Is it at the moment of intense
trepidation, when your fingers start to
tremble from a single warm embrace? Is it
when your heart is so close that it's all you
can taste? Is it when you hear the train
whistle blow? When you have reached a
moment of pause; whether to stay or
whether to go? Is it when you have taken
something so beautiful into your hands
and you never want to let it go? Or maybe
it is when you feel you can't take any
more? Do you continue to clamor and
struggle with all your might? Is it truly
noble to win that fight? At the end of the
day, when it is all said and done, is it then
that the battle has just begun? Is it when
you look back and realize how far you
have come; does it balance and justify the
total or sum? Is it when you tire and are
weary? Maybe that is the time we see
most clearly? For all the times we have
given our best. No matter how many
bullets you take to the chest. No matter
how much they rip and tear. There is a
reason why you are there. You will stand
and you will test. Until your heart and soul
finally rest. When your dreams are realized
and the pain has faded. When the burdens
are lifted and new memories created.
When the walls have tumbled and all
that's left is your heart; and you've won
that battle from the very start. For giving
your all and never giving up. Is that when
you know how far is enough?
