The Run



From the first step when I start
Till my feet wants to fall apart
Keep moving, says my heart
Even if my breath falls short
Speed is not what I aim,
For I play my own game.
Care I not, for fame.
For my time, needs no frame;
Same as life where I play
Keeping my aches far away
Run and run, yes I will
Keeps my mind more chill.
Free of thoughts on my mind
More of path, I can find.
Not a worry, fills my heart
Just my shoe prints on the dirt.
Most of them, run for the fun
Or even run to win
Never do I chase the sun
I must say, I just run.

About this poem

I like to slow run everyday. That's the time when I feel no care in the world.
