The Beginning

My fingers were a little stiff
as I blew my sigh of relief. 
A beam of hope shone on my face. 
I thought of that day as my saving grace. 

Muffled tears fell from my eyes
as I thought of the mountains I ran for miles;
Their profound sense blended with my smile 
as I laid down my troubles for a while. 

As I took a bite of my celebration 
I echoed some voices of exaltation, 
for, time gave rise to the beginning;
The time to weave a path with a meaning.
