Actions Two Paths Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

A quickening pulse, a racing heart,
Where bright new sparks can truly start.
Energy flows, a vibrant tide,
With purpose strong, and nothing to hide.

Things begin, and get things done,
A joyful race, beneath the sun.
In the zone, where skills take flight,
A perfect moment, shining bright.

But look again, the other side,
A breathless chase, nowhere to hide.
Too much of this, can wear you thin,
Where stress takes hold, and worries spin.

A frantic pace, no time for sleep,
Secrets the tired body keeps.
A flash, a bang, then nothing more,
Acting too fast, then shutting the door.
