Curiously my need to express has come to an abrupt halt and given way to the inability to find the words because the pain has hit too hardI am running an emotional marathon ,brief smooth glides, some downhillbreaks, many steep exhausting inclinesand then the wall- always the wallwhere it takes every ounce of courage, breath and determination merely tomaintain balanceAs I piod through the confusion ofthoughts and memories I see beforeme the finish , each stride bringing me closerWith each pounding heartbeat I touchyou with my mindHow many walls must I confront,howmany obstacles must I traverse beforethis event is endedI still don’t know whether the finish is lifewith quality or death with reunionBut I run on, ever watchful of that tapein the distance
