Why would I leave my warm bed
At this absurd hour
Lacing up my trainers
Setting forth into darkness
Is it because you steal my breath away
With strides you push me to take
Crisp wind ruffling my hair
Sweat tickling my cheeks
A plodding of distance ahead
So tough with each step
An aching in my knees
A screaming in my mind – STOP
Oh look, the sky is awakening
Shimmering sunrise appears
The birds are serenading
A rhythm of running rushes over me
Peace nestles my heart
Stress erased from my mind
Another runner is approaching
A greeting of hello echoes
My journey is nearing its end
I run faster for its almost over
Euphoria overcomes me
I LOVE you running – let’s do it again…
