inches

Inches

Inches from the pavement..

Death's a million miles away

Only gods, and children,

Are so sublime at play.

Inches from the pavement

Sparks fly, rubber's shed...

Tires whine, and the wind whistles

I'm alone....inside my head

Inches from the pavement

My shining moment of grace

Everyone, everything before me

Disappears, without a trace

Inches from the pavement

Troubles vanquished...and i'm "spaced"

The smile of a ten year-old

With a new bicycle

Flashes across my face

Inches from the pavement

Fragile existence moot

Pavement screaming past

Kisses the sole of my boot

Inches from the pavement

Life bows....to me

I transcend my worries

Naught to do...no place to be

Only inches from the pavement

Do i at last, morph into me

Inches from the pavement

I'm certain, my death awaits

And in hour unfamiliar

Shall i pass through that wondrous gate

Just inches from the pavement
