The Pursuit

A Poem

Image by Substack

Focused. Eyes fixed on a distant target.
Grinding through the day-to-day.
Trying not to blow a circuit.
Seeking the one true way.

The pursuit of a goal may take over
Learning, building, writing, 
even a sense of closure,
all sounds so inviting.

Long-term goals take time to achieve.
Your mind may bend on the way.
The path itself may mean relief.
If on that path you stay.

The path takes us to our destination.
Yet, we may easily lose our way.
Daily steps cause progression,
and feed us each day.

Achievements should
be celebrated.
The value of daily effort 
cannot be debated.

Taking a step every day can be bigger than achieving a great goal.

Take care of yourself,

Rod
