Made it out for a run

In the pre-dawn dark

 

Clad in gloves and tights

Reclaiming my warmth

Fogged breath escaped my lips

 

The sun rose around me

Illuminating the sky

With brilliant hues

While I kept running

 

Step

After

Step

 

Slowly increasing pace

Footfalls in time

With thumping music

In my ears

 

Faster

Faster

Faster

 

Running for life

Running to live

Bright beautiful day

For once

Is ahead

Of

Me

– James Dubeau
