The Sharpest Edge

The sound ignites

an adrenaline feel

The sharpest edge

such powerful steel

It slices through

a frozen mass

And allows a speed

I need to last.

My feet, they burn

with new reward

The pain is forgotten

just like before

The time I spent

learning to slice

Through the learning

through the ice

Now I command

two powerful blades

And my feet rejoice

for the practice made

It molded my stature

into this man

They say only champions

can withstand

my hands they hold

a flexible tool

that performs a goal

I command to rule

the opposing force

feels apprehension

when they see me stand

with such contention

my eyes are set

on where they stand

I already know

where my feet my hands

will move to make

an ultimate goal

and set the standards

for others to tole

and work and strive

to be like this

a champion now

I taste the bliss

Time stands still

for a second that’s split

my eyes take in

so I’ll never forget

steam is rising

from inside my gear

thump, my heart

I know it’s near

determination descends

upon my brow

and I lower my shoulders

ready, now.

all they say

and all they see

was a terrible force

yes, that was me

the wind passing

force blowing

past my ears

tears flowing

passion fills

my exploding heart

this is it!

I am a part

of this awesome game

not many will play

a champion now

I will always stay

unstoppable, see?

ice submit to my stance

I command this role

legs powerful dance

the rhythm of sound

speed increases

I skid, almost stop

and silence ceases

My arms stretch back

slice through the air

then slingshot straight

smashing force so aware

the puck flies fast

spins on it’s way

the net submits

this is a moment I play

inside of my head

Only I can repeat

The feeling inside

nothing can beat

I let out a sound

not many have heard

my arms raised high

and I spin around

my teammates roar

with triumphant glee

Smiling we chant

celebrating victory

we feel the force

This Is Hockey
