Outdoors and Tied Tight

Going for the first one...

By Michael OwczarekPublished about 16 hours ago 1 min read

Decision has been made..

maybe even not by you,

but oh is it well played.

The digital forecast

staring back at you

on your wether app

has been cheering anew

for something to do.

You know what.

Prepared, yes.

Date, set.

Time... still up in the air.

Along with all that brings care

into a world of freedom.

Slowly you fast forward to

What Comes Back.

The morning has stillness

and your running sneakers are feeling extra new.

Layers.. one or two.

From the first step out of the door,

you realize how much

there is to explore

in between each and every single one.

First. Second. Third...

and so on -

there is no looking back.

Your skin being exposed.

Your mind being stimulated.

You did this so many times before,

and the run of today

is forever related.

Twisting of your arm.

Glancing of your watch.

Heartbeat beginning to pump more.

Breath taking and a joy to catch.

You remember,

"oh, how I love running."

Within you, and in front.

Gratitude
