"THE DANIEL CORPORATION"

Wednesday, July 02, 2008

sweat streaming down my face
the wind in my hair
adrenaline coursing through my veins
my shoes pounding the asphalt
endorphine taking me higher
my heart racing faster

a body of water on my right
lush greenery on my left
the occasional junkie passing by in a blur
the blue sky above
overtaking the clouds in vain
an explosion of sunlight-a setting sun

the memories that move like a river
lazy.steady.uninterrupted.
and like a log i watch it all pass me by
the heaviness in my heart disappears
the tears have no place anymore
the regrets are forgotten
stress finds no solace in my mind no more
i force back thoughts
businesswinemarketingeventsmeetingsNSoffleaveovertimelatenightsstressphonecallsemotions
but they trouble me nought

the sweat streams with determination
i clench my fist tighter
i lift my chin higher
i widen my stride further
i harden the pace faster
i hear my breath louder
my vision goes by blurer

I lifted it all UP as I ran for the last time as a teen.
