I gave chase

Enamored by such beauty and grace

Pushing blood and adrenaline past euphoric insanity

-I was voluntarily committed to Eternal Decision

To follow source of glow and heat

Determined to win my relay in the Human Race

With sweet surrender and victorious defeat!

STEADY

Speed of Life, speed of sound;

Sound asleep till babies cry
