Speed Poetry

Chase the Wind

By Franklin Published 11 months ago 1 min read

In the realm of speed and grace, where legends are born,

Where swift strides paint pictures, like the break of dawn,

I soar with the wind, like an untamed steed,

In the tapestry of motion, my spirit takes the lead.

Behold, dear reader, the tale I shall tell,

Of a fleet-footed soul, a tale to compel,

For I am the runner, with a heart set on fire,

With every step taken, my dreams soar higher.

Like a gazelle on the savannah, I swiftly glide,

My feet barely touching the earth's gentle tide,

With sinew and muscle, harmonized in perfection,

I sprint through the realms of fleeting reflection.

In each breath, a rhythm, a symphony of pace,

In each stride, a melody, a dance full of grace,

My limbs are like lightning, swift and true,

A blur of motion, an ethereal debut.

Through meadows and mountains, I chase fleeting dreams,

Breaking the barriers, as wild as it seems,

In the race against time, I'm a relentless contender,

With burning desire, my limits I'll render.

With each heartbeat pounding, like drums in my chest,

I push through the boundaries, never to rest,

For speed is my lover, my eternal companion,

Together we conquer, through every marathon.

Through pain and exhaustion, I'll continue to strive,

For the joy of running keeps my spirit alive,

In the fields of endeavor, I find my true worth,

As I race through the heavens, a celestial birth.

Oh, how fast can I run, you might still inquire,

With every ounce of my being, I never tire,

For the essence of speed is not in the time,

But in the passion that fuels every stride.

So let the clocks tick, let records be broken,

For in the realm of running, I am forever unspoken,

In the poetry of motion, my spirit takes flight,

As I chase down the shadows, with all of my might.

In the end, dear reader, it's not just a race,

But a journey of self, a relentless embrace,

For in the pursuit of speed, I find my release,

In the rhythm of running, my soul finds its peace.
