Running away

My feet hit the pavement
And I’m set free
All day I’ve been craving
The ability to flee

Up up and away
I fly for miles
Slowly losing my way
I can’t help but smile

Lost in my own world
Listening to the birds sing
Everything becomes a whirl
On this beautiful day of Spring

In the sun I glisten
My mind becomes quiet
And my ears begin to listen
My body goes on autopilot

The wind takes my heart
And I begin to take flight
All I see is art
I’m full of delight

Running sets me aglow
Sweat pouring from me
Even when I’m slow
I couldn’t be more carefree

I chuckle as I think
How I used to hate running
It was my missing link
To become truly stunning
