| As I wrote the poems inside this book, I found they were deep writings. I started to write 'Intro's' for these poems, in an effort to bring them closer to the surface. In the end, I found a deeper, yet simpler, meaning. It took me back to my first boxing match. I had trained 3 months straight and was confident I would win my fight. The harder I trained, the shorter and shorter each 3 minute round seamed. Once I entered the ring for the real bout, I was good! All my training was paying off. Then, 1 minute into this greatness, I got hit back! The last 2 minutes of that first round seemed like....... an ETERNITY. |
