Words and feelings

I look at photos and I see beauty.
I close my eyes and I feel the wind.
I hold my breathe and I hear tires roll, leaves rustle.

I study my maps and I am daunted.
I revere those who found success and I find strength.
I admire those who return to try again and I am resolute.

My heart beats in my chest.
Time creeps ever closer.
Which will I be?
