The moment where you feel the light coming off your body,
Borne on the breeze as though you are incandescent,
Brilliance unending
The weight of your intentions gone at that moment,
existing only to provide illumination and warmth
Feeling the breath move through your body while the faithful heartbeat does the rest
The slap, slap, slap on your feet on the asphalt,
Constant, propelling you forward
The radiance glows from your face, shining from your smile and you know,
In that moment,
You are Mercury
Quicksilver messenger of the Gods
Untouched by mortal concerns
Free to race onwards eternally
