What I Truly Long For

The chase. That extended moment of panting,

struggling, fighting, and then

finally achieving.

Or even failing yet knowing,

that I tried.

The passion.

That never-ending passion, of arriving yet

not really.

The cruising. Across still waters with a

steady hand and hopeful heart.

Geared for any storm, any monster

in the water.

The challenge.

The perpetual drive to move forward.

The love - constant, unfaltering, unconditional

and true.

What I truly long for.
