Ode to The Run

Wake up! Wake up! The time is nigh!

Look up! Look up! Into the sky

So creamy and blue, it's about high noon

I anticipate and long to be running soon

I lace up my shoes and grab all my gear

It's almost that time for my run to come near

What joy to be had as I revel with glee

As i anticipate the run overwhelming me

I bolt out the door and my what a rush

My heart begins racing, my doubts are all hushed

The earth breathes a sigh as I take it all in

I am one with the world... a child of the wind

I dash past my fears and surpass every stress

The road welcomes me wholly, my destiny's manifest

The sun smiles so warmly upon my face

And the clouds slowly frolick leaving trails of white lace

The run becomes timeless, its purpose secure

I move deftly and swiftly, of that I am sure

And should there be an obstacle to suddenly occur

I'll dart cleanly past it, no doubt, as a blur

Smell that! Smell that! It's a love for the trail

We run for ourselves and thusly prevail

Thinking of running before it's begun

I miss you my dear... my ode to the run!
