Finish Line

A due date is the finish line, 
a detail not to be ignored!
What do you call a starting line?

A place to leap from made of pine,
the impetus of a spring board,
far from the waters finish line.

The cover of a book design,
begins a quest to be explored,
as text flies from that starting line.

The crack of the starters carbine,
as athletes begin their sprint toward,
fame at the distant finish line. 

That first note felt from the baseline,
while groovin' on the fretboard, 
as beats move from the starting line. 

Maybe it's the morning sunshine,
while the Earth spins ever westward. 
To yet another finish line, 
to realize it's the starting line. 
           ~Johnnymac
