HURDLES

He's not afraid of obstacles --
The hurdler greets the bars --
He calculates the energy
That vaults him over spars.

He's not ashamed to show his strength --
He only has to run --
In seconds he can meet the lengths
Of barriers we shun.

Time is the test -- mediocre
Or Excellent? We choose.
Just to breathe, exquisite pleasure --
Appreciate -- or lose?
