                              Run: Ghazal Poem 

The road and a pair of sneakers is it run 
Step out into the cold crisp air commit run 

Ground beneath, the sky above wide-open, run
Space to swing arms, pump legs no time to sit run  

Longer the distance the more connected, run 
The mind, body, and heart show up don’t quit, run 

Runner enjoys the solitude, calm, peace run 
Miles of road stretched out ahead builds grit run  

The road I love no matter the weather, run 
I thank God for this gift, it keeps me fit run. 

What is your favorite couplet?
