       Morning Runs 

Running in the morning
a peace, stillness I crave. 
I could run later I'm certain—
yet the morning is my fav. 
Nothing but nature, my feet 
hitting the ground. 

Breathing relaxed, steady, pumping 
my arms, I feel alive and ready. 
I'm grateful for my body and 
the miles I get to run. The darkness 
is calming, yet at times my eyes 
will come undone. 

Is that a person up the road?
Oh no, it's just a mailbox.
Is that an enormous dog 
coming my way? Oops—
it's a gigantic rock.   
Oh! The tricks my eyes play. 

Oh my! How my imagination
can fly and don't get me 
started on my wild mind. 
Oh! Another thought! 
That's okay. I have my 
mantras on replay.
