On the Run

[nephil]

And so it begins.
with gentle steps in search of rhythm.
Legs lighten
shoulders sink.
pulse steadily rises.
There it is
steady, steady rhythm
pouncing, finding the pace
the center.
Struggling to keep up,
chest contracts, expands
contracts, expands
Back trys to tighten,
so I lean forward.
Watching the ground being pulled away
Sun holds me down,
staining my skin,
blurring my vision
stinging my eyes
Gentle breezes become gale force winds
adding weight
pushing me back.
Still I persist.
Radiant heat soaks my skin
as cold shivers cool my spine
mind begins to clear
eyes open
body disappears
movement is automatic, effortless
Ahhh, orgasmic chills
tingle my scalp
work their way down
my body
into my feet,
then rise back up again
the goal is in sight
chest pounding
eyes burning
dirt stained sweat
streaks my face
Slowing to a stop
mind alerts to the warmth in my soul
feeling invincible, unstoppable
can't wait til tomorrow
Just a little something I thought of while running today

Wow, again
Your words are so descriptive and remind of why I used to run and run and run and run.
Seriously I think you might be on your way to inspiring me to run again.
