RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: 2020 ELECTION
The Finish Line
Pushing hard and pushing harder
Harder than any endeavor can demand
Harder than a marble fortress
Harder than a rich man’s heart
Harder than a dull man’s fate
A billion minds melding into one
Focused on a singular goal
Stretching pulling lifting driving
All pistons firing beyond capacity
Praying to any and all deities
Tempting the heart of fate
Dancing under moonlight
Summoning the forces
Stirring the mystic potions
Chanting in other worldly voices
Calling forth the spirits
Reaching for the stars
Exhausted beyond all words
Falling to the floor
Picking ourselves back up
To exert ourselves once more…
We have reached the finish line
One last thrust and drive
Collapse and release
Our long mission complete
Rest in solemn comfort
Exhale in lasting peace
Knowing we have done
All that we could do
The race is over
Breathe in breathe out
And let it go
