Symbol Of Victory

Everything is closed including gyms,

Daily exercises, lifting, weights, all now a

Thing of past, when I think of those days.

Gyms places where weights were lifted;

Biceps, muscular bodies, and strong arms.

Sweating it out, all through their exercise.

Now those days come to mind,

When will begin once again, for the bodybuilder,

Walkers, joggers weight-conscious waiting

For the virus to die, so they can begin their regimen,

Now lost in the maze of lockdown.

All those strong bodies, lifting weights with

Effortless ease, watching the lifters in envy,

Their rippling muscles, poetry in motion

When will the gyms open once again,

When will the weightlifters start lifting,

Their weights in tandem with their bodies.

They too are waiting for the day to start,

When once again the sound of irons, will

Echo in their lives, for a triumphant return.

For whatever reason, hope will triumph.

When he lifts his weights high in the air

In a symbol of victory, a victory for all.
