Morning Run

posted in: Poems 2014 | 0

The stars are visible even at dawn.

I breathe the scents of morning dew,

stretch my arms wide open.

 

My red trainers are worn-out

but a new smile gleams on my face.

Forget the race of life, I run at my own pace.

 

I kick the pain away

like an empty can.

The breeze strokes my cheeks

 

My lungs expand…

I listen to the chirping of sparrows,

forget the static noise in my earphones.

 

I let my heartbeat slow down

under the graceful gliding of petals

from a cherry blossom tree.

 

Soon I feel the sunlight on my back,

your tap on my shoulder.
