TO BEING SET ON THE OLYMPIAN TRACK OF LIFE

Having, with hope and faith, overcome 
past moonless night-like trials and tribulations,
I meet today's sunshine-ones with Gilead's balm;

Be aware that each living day and night has its race,
and there is no need to jump the gun in disqualification;
for it's not about coming in first place, but finishing the race:-

Indeed, it's all about an old Japanese

Olympian Dependency

     Olympic moments now here, then gone
        under a spotlight intense as the sun

     Years of sweat, dedication and training
        geared toward a finish culminating

Olympian Diva Dives

“The diva is high,” says the news,
“huge splash in the pool and a bruise.”
She scores off the scale.
She’s thin as a whale.
Crowd wades in her blubbering blues.

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Among Mortals

save those tears for the solitude of night
alone in your cold little widow’s bed
when gates open to memories flowing

still shellshocked by the emptiness
of his love suddenly gone

taking comfort in knowing
how it went down all so perfect
in every detail of every moment

how he slipped into the next life
like he was taking off a coat

I've rode horses all my life.
The metaphor being,
my life's always been an uncomfortable unsmooth ride.
I'd watched my mom her entire life, 
the Olympian,
that beared the torch, 
like her sickness didn't slow her down at all.

Olympian Wonders

Dance of neurons is perceptible not on paper with ink only
All gazed at the sprinting poetry with its look at new sunrise 
In Rio Olympics in hundred meters in just 9.81 seconds
When Usain Bolt muscled out the poem of sprinting with elan
Securing gold and the epithet of the fastest man on sweet earth
Adding a new

Olympian

(Dedication: Congratulations to 
Joseph Schooling, Singapore's first 
Gold Medallist, Rio Olympics 2016)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Joy in meek voice as triumph speaks loud,
Opt a fine win in swift sure speed;
Set winning poise humble not proud,
Etch hard work seen with gold disc deed;
Prime purpose moves with passion pure,
Heart and mind show how focus gains.
Sense effort groove with gut feel sure,
Calm

What It Means - Olympian

The goal of Gold, Silver, Bronze medals to win.
The support and sacrifice of family and 
friends and strangers too.

The show of strength when you win,
and defeated look when you lose.

The tears of joy and the show of sadness in
knowing you are the best you can be in 
your expertise of the sport.

The sleepless nights, the

Limerick: Once An Intrepid Olympian

Limerick : Once an intrepid Olympian

Once an intrepid Olympian
Craved for anthem gold on the podium
Games after games came fourth
So sawed his arm in wrath:
Won at Paralympics gold and odium!
