The Seeker
by Jennifer Lewis
Soaring high
Free as a bird
Adrenaline coursing
Through your veins
Wind tousling your hair
Freedom
Diving
Darting
Swooping through the clouds
Gliding through the air
Circling the green pitch
Seeking
Searching
Pursuing the prize
Hunting for the prey
As golden as the sun
Glinting in the bright light
The prize is in view
Diving for the catch
Faster and faster
Rushing wind sounding in your ear
The thrill of the chase
The sphere of gold
Almost in your grasp
The cold metal against your skin
Cold as ice
The feeling of victory
Cheers from the crowd
As loud as thunder
Victory
Praise
The conquest won
Success for your team
You have helped win the Cup
