Perseverance

Life knocks the wind out of us all
some time,
and it feels a lot like letting go,
which is never all that easy;
even the more you learn,
it feels like something
you never knew how to do.
Yet the choice will come again,
to dust off the dream,
and to learn once more.
It's just that: a choice.
Remain the same or
go after it with all you've got.
You'll never get your dreams
if you don't have them.
A day's end sighs much greater,
much sweeter
having known the chase.
Dare to breathe again.
