Off we go... the gun has been fired people, excited, adrenaline in the air we cross the start line, what a day! nothing is out of reach The happy crowds, cheering honestly make the miles pass quickly, they add to the pleasure of running company of a dear friend, is this really happening? nothing is out of reach Fatigue builds up body complains, legs falter... Determination. The mind takes over and we continue nothing is out of reach Feel like I am floating, ignorant of my surroundings, my Being is inconsequential pain, sublime, only keeps me pushing to complete nothing is out of reach BREACH! of the finish line I slow down to a stop. Reality strikes. Brutally. all the pain comes at once but only tears of joy flow nothing is out of reach I have humbly finished what I started The marathon has been run, not conquered there are more challenges to come, I am sure but I know, nothing is out of reach -- Richie BAKSHI
