BEAR
Life, carefree and happy,
Three best friends on a nature hike...
Sounds of the forest, birds, squirrels and wind,
Turn to silence, with a crack of a stick from nearby,
Heart thumping, hands shaking, legs run uncontrollably,
A minute in time which takes a hour to complete,
Back to where it began,
Life, carefree and happy.
RINGETTE
Six players, forty minutes, and a tied score.
Adrenaline and nervousness compete,
Crowd fades as silence takes over,
Skates cutting the ice in rhythmic fashion,
Top corner? Five hole? Decision needed now,
Mental and physical training released through the red light,
Sudden victory for one, defeat for the other,
Elation, celebration and exhaustion,
Gold medal.
