Silence, stillness, endless seconds
Tip-toe, tensing, shaking patience
The track is waiting, waiting, beckons
Yellow, arms, booming shot
Pacing, pacing, patter, patter
Footsteps chasing, rhythmic flight
Time is running, running, still-
Every moment, lines of white
Rubber racing, racing, scatter
Breathing, beating, chest up high
Thoughts and worries- lost in chatter
Staying strong, keep your will
Side by side, colors, dying
Some are fading, fading, fast
Those who paced are still awaiting
The line to cross, the line at last
