Drive defying logic
Bruised ego loses balance
Side steps of determination
Forward motion of shifting sand

Negative feedback turned
Positive momentum
Clawed purpose
Elated movement

Inches of migration
Miles ahead
No distance too great
For inner satisfaction

Small piece of ceiling
Dripping paint blisters
Drying perfection
Sistine Chapel

Injustice provoked
Taxing purpose
Party of accreditation
Commissioning a new country

Thundering fire wall
Rolling down a valley
Tree tops of hell
Blanket covered survival

Innocence of the womb
Doctor’s sad conclusion
No way possible
Miracle survival

Nothing before me but pain
Nothing behind but loss of blood
No respect in backward motion
Prayer being offered

Religion of denial
Personal aberration
Distorted dedication
Self focusing

Alone you are David
Goliath presence prevails
Army of trepidation
Higher purpose

Awaited mixed fate
Scorched sunburned chill
Storming lightning silence
Time advancing smiling clown

Meditation
Education
Permutation
Finally exhilaration

Success

There are so many images here, it is hard to pinpoint and collect just a few. Certainly this is a well focused poem D. Lester, very well done.
