Eight Cylinders

When you drive at full capacity
you know it is not something you have done
Fourteen wheels and eight cylinders
We have escape velocity

You get by with six and struggle on four
What is missing known and felt and unknown too
But not that realization driving all out of the potential
For good bad middle everything

Now as is then but older
Universe doesn't think you'll live long anyways
Twenty years or forty seconds
Some numbers are better written

Seven wheels four cylinders
We both had 8 but we did not drive sixteen
Took and take turns for each other
Seven wheels 8 cylinders we had certain responsibilities

There are so many less as you get old
To know something is not to create something
They are things we find

Learn your capacity
I will get by
There are things I know that would make life better
Yet there are more of them I remain unaware

I try to drive to capacity
Two partners pass with ease
Relative hard to know another's view

It was a good run then
More ahead then behind maybe
Something best in us
Whatever the quantity enough

Know your best
Try and be it too

We Gonna win

The last ten seconds something new
This visceral new muscle memory: we are going to win
The first time I knew

I've been a part of different "we"s, but this time it was my home
No more kardiac moments for this season
Not a curse yet a burden released

Romans 5:3-4
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
