Momentum:
This powerful body shifts into full gear!
Its vigorous legs are simultaneously,
lions that suddenly appear,
and the stampede of deer that quickly escape!
Roots of trees delve deeply into the dirt,
but agile arms cannot conceal the veins it unearths!
When sinewy thighs and calves
wildly pound the fragile ground,
it's as if mother nature painfully gives birth!
This body strenuously bends like the rushing wind!
Its legs leap to keenly dodge
broken branches and fallen trees!
Steady breath moves swiftly and inhales the night,
and with each exhale...
...wakes the sky
as it paints the dawn with morning light.
The brightly rising sun shimmers radiantly
like this powerful body full of momentum;
its beauty captivates the soul!
