Flex
For Heather Hubler's 'Unscramble' Challenge - Weightlifter
My Word: Weightlifter
The Challenge:
“To lift is a gift,” he thought. Life only goes around once and you cannot wilt while the wheel turns and you just flit from… He had to focus on the weight that he added to the tree of iron surrounding him.
“As you grew, you flew away from that old life…”
He handled this one well, this private fight on top of this tile right in this gym. There was a rift between what he was and the tiger he saw in the floor-to-ceiling mirrors. But now, another challenge to weigh; another reef crossed now between old and new…
“Grit your teeth…filter out that pain…”
Where could he take it…?
He placed his hands on the bar (it felt light)...
What was he trying to forget…?
He began to flex...
The metal began to take flight.
