Running Sonnet

A brisk pace set makes my heart beat so fast

The thrill of the run means I feel no pain

With every step onward, strong as the last

I'm lost in my head with the drops of the rain

Wet as the puddles my feet slip into

I glide through the air, floating on pride

The prints in the ground show where I've been through

The grin on my face shows where in my mind

I love the feeling you get on a run

When nothing else matters but what you see

The sights I notice before I am done

The feeling of such raw intensity

The passion inside burns the creator

But I save its hot embers for extinguishing later
