To run
Is instinctive,
The fresh air
Coursing through;
Finding energy
Where first there is none;
To tread the lanes
As day is done;
Though tired, to feel renewed,
Spurred on by the towering clouds behind,
The wind coursing in the pines
Grey sky darkening
Squeezing out the light;
The onset of a stormy night.
Yet invigorated,
energised,
With wind in the face
I can pick up speed
Increasing the pace.
