Runner's High

By alesana

crack, scrape against the pavement
                                                                                                           snap, the break of a twig
                                                    steady rhythm of flowing sound
like the march to the beat of a drum
                                                                                             faster, faster, matching your heart
                                                        your breath is the melody
the intensity building, adrenaline rushing
                                                                              blood at tsunami speed through your veins
                                                 heartbeat an electrical pulsation
driving the power through your body
                                                                          the stars, the sweat, the utter determination
                                                        this is what defines you
burn of the lungs spurs you on
                                                                                         the faster you go the sooner it ends
                                                       light, white blinding light
sudden stun of endorphins
                                                                                              shocking force of inhuman ability
                                                    out of control, pure insanity
this is the end and you are the best
                                                                                            you are at your absolute strongest
                                         there is nothing in the world right now 
as powerful as you.

    I used to know this feeling before the knees went. Sounds like a runner to me (never call them joggers). Thanks.
