It's Heaven Above

After I have run for a minute, for an hour, a mile or so,

After I have run my legs to exhaustion,

And my heart and my soul even more

I lie in the centre of the stadium

And spread arms and focus my mind

I see purple and orange clouds darkened

By the night summer shades in the sky,

bugs are flying around me,

and so are the people, but legging,

and sprinklers are showering round

all little creatures and gravel, and air…

At that moment, just at that moment

the Earth is supporting my back

and all my power is whisper, to whisper

It’s Heaven above..
