Stretch
Straighten
Start –
Running
running
Away From my fears
The drumsticks my heels
Thrums a rhythm on the pavement
Awash with amazement
My bodies arrangement
Just so !
Bagpipe lungs
My breath is song
Leading the March
Is my metronome heart
Inhale deflate
Pump blood through my veins
Go on and on and on
My fingers batons
I am salt and sinew and muscle
Electricity fires
Calculate the miles
Find my pace
Settle in
Release my fists
Begin
A kinetic orchestra
Heal grow heal grow
Heel to toe heel to toe
Let go
The sun becomes my spotlight
Tunnel vision
The side walk, my stage
A cardio concert of one
My organs playing synchrony
Movement, a symphony
Jogging sprinting
going on
Release renew redeem
Fears aren’t as frightening as they seemÂ
My laces, sutures
Running
Running
Into my future
