do you know what it feels like to be alive?
that fiery urgency I'm talking about, the intense sense of thriving, of awakening,
of being on fire.
i want to be in that moment forever.
the moment I feel alive.
when the jumbled ocean of faces becomes a wave of numbers and color. when the array of asics and mizuno's tap the pavement in the first step forward
onward
into a world of motion and persistence and desire.
a world to endure, to maintain,
and embrace because my very essence of vitality confides in the rhythmic pounding of my heart,
in the wisp of the wind on my cheeks,
in the lustrous sun warming me to the tips of my fingers and toes.
and nothing else exists
and i am alone
with the fleeting of my feet underneath me
to trudge the line between pain and pleasure
and there is no going back.
i am defined, i am in love,
and some people might say I am crazy.
but I'm really holding on,
i'm letting go.
I'm set free.
