I can almost picture the scene in your poem. In fact you have inspired me to jot down some lines of my own. Hope you enjoy reading it.

A CALL TO ARMS

I blame my arms

For pushing me into a stride

After all, what's the harm

If it would just hang by my side

It didn't care

That I did not want to run

But still threw me a dare

"Come on, let's have some fun"

I followed, struck dumb

My arms pulling me on its own

The mind so numb

Oh why could this road not slow down

And then it happened

That glow in my heart

My pace quickened

And I start to look the part

I am a runner

Give me a high five

Free and yet with wonder

That I have never felt so alive

Don't blame the arms

For pushing me into a stride

After all, it did no harm

Keeping my arms away from my side.

Kind Regards

Harish
