Made it out for a run
In the pre-dawn dark
Clad in gloves and tights
Reclaiming my warmth
Fogged breath escaped my lips
The sun rose around me
Illuminating the sky
With brilliant hues
While I kept running
Step
After
Step
Slowly increasing pace
Footfalls in time
With thumping music
In my ears
Faster
Faster
Faster
Running for life
Running to live
Bright beautiful day
For once
Is ahead
Of
Me
