RUNNING

No time to snooze, power nap later
Strap on those Nikes, set the wristwatch
Sprint out the door, no turning back
Revive the spirit, Icon of my freedom
Echoes of birds twitter in the wind
Leaves swift on by, ahead of my game
Hair flapping on nylon, hissing tires over pavement
Sweat and rain what a mix, drips off my face
Fade into the horizon with no end in sight
Eight miles glided by
Runner's high who needs drugs
My senses enter a higher subconscious height
Sounds are smothered out, seem isolated
Breath so thick, appears as smoke
Rain flowing into my eyes, postpone my vision
My legs directs the way
Each step stomps the earth, like a beat to a drum
Enjoy a run in the rain, before you depart this star
Jesus runs alongside of me
His presence inspires me, we talk and pray
He spoke "You have power in your heart, use it"
Stillness surrounds my universe
Running motionless as being carried by the wind
A level of consciousness approaches
Heart beating fast, shortness of breath
Intense weight on my legs
Every stride engraved four footprints
No pain, no gain
Glimpse of my destination in sight
What an incredible view
Dare you to go there
Meditate, sing, dance, cry or just pray
Running, my silence
Running, my peace
Running is me
