The race against the wind

The race against the wind is a passage closing in,
The road is long and narrow with no space to stretch your wings,
The pace is fast and harrowing,
earth speeding up, gale force cause of spinning,
Out of control,
rip curl and roll,
The rain comes like coal, dark sky's unfold and stinging my skin,
a million arrows, the archers are firing,
set alight to burn in flight and lightning scorch the battered night,
as if far planets were exploding,
colliding like war heads into the mountains,
thunder sounds one thousand lions are Roaring.
The tiresome growing, the riot gun loaded,
don't loose the fight or the will to survive it,
never surrender,
your white flag denied,
we all are alive,
The contenders of time,
always remember what you seek to find,
don't ever pretend that you've never cried,
love and make friends on the way towards light,
brake it,
chase it,
make it,
take it,
Live everyday like its a good day to die,
embrace what you face and race against the wind,
hold on dear, for life is worth gripping,
Aim to win and Never fear,
Change is in the distance, near,
Run in your mind,
Stead fast in dream
Now go collide, smash into pieces ,
The keeper of time is too race,  undefeated.
