Number 54
The heart-pounding anxiety
Thumping in your ears
The twitter of your fingers
Restless and nervous
The first and last steps on the Big Green
Determine your mood
The Sea of the Enthralled
Watching, cheering, scrutinizing your every move
The grind of your muscles, sinews, and tendons
Felt down to the very core
Helmet in one hand, heart on your sleeve
But your mind on the Field
All others shut out
All others ignored
All others unimportant
Your impassioned eyes intimidating
The face of the opposer stressed and creased
Their calculating plans keenly thwarted
Nothings gets past, nothing goes by
Your strength, drive, zeal
-- Too much for them to handle
Pride pushes all pain
This pain is pleasure
This pain is wanted
This pain is…
Won.
