the lowered shade
provides ephemeral relief
from daylight
and the reality
of the race
that runs alongside you
and you,
you stop
and you blink
and hide and sink
and the people
continue to run
and text and tweet
and think
your mind
is on the brink
you want to keep up
feel like less
when you stop
know
beauty rests
in that moment
when silence
and stillness both
overwhelm you
with belief
in the eternal connection
between man
and a single breath
