marathon is life,a poem for running the Athens marathon on nov13/2016

Marathon Is Life

Run a marathon my friend

Life is marathon

Run like a bull in clouds

Galloping gently

Breathing hard

Traveling faraway

Far ….impossibly far

Far enough for a hug

And for this Spartan pain

What matters really

Marathon is life

Go slow run easy

Run your passion
Run for love

No gold no silver

Like a bull in love

Floating lightly

On cotton fields

Pawing clawing

Climbing up haltingly

That’s why we run my man

This authentic marathon

Broken laughing bones

Cheers or no cheers

 Roars from within

Or never heard roars

Running alone

Finish or no finish

That’s life my friend
