The clock is ticking
And fast
Electrifying race again time
Sandwiched between two flag wielding beacons
One more exudes the north
Within center of action
In
The ultimate challenge
Playing ball
~
It restlessly rolls and spins
To and fro
The ball
Caught within intense pressure
Dramatic showdown
Mother of all shows
Desire to conquer world pulsating
The dream gushes forth
Chords of inspiration spurring on
Real time
The world applauds in rejoinder
There is a chance the dream could come true
Deadlock broken
Within regular time
On official countdown
Playing ball
~
Self-conquered
Rising way above limitations inhibiting
Barriers within and without
Song unified
Universal essence
I can make it
We can make it
Multi advance
Unprejudiced
Playing ball
Art of discipline showcased
Multi-national
Holding together in one heartbeat
Hope of victory
Color of triumph
Fear vanquished
Dream come true
~
Winner takes it all
One touch in tantalizing fashion
It could have been better
Had it been apparent
One touch was all there would be to it
Moments come flashing past
Gone-gone-gone
Irredeemably
Managing only glimpses at times
Playing ball at others
Sharpening by the play
For the score
