The Path Taken
A simple escape,
a free therapy session,
a time of reflection,
a release of tension
One foot in front of the other
breathing in and out,
a rhythm in my head
as I run along this route.
Exploring the trails,
the mysteries they hold
appreciating the surroundings
of nature with leaves bright and bold
Cars speed by with a mist
as the nice big dog gives a little lick
coming towards the end of the run,
all I need is a little kick,
Perserverance and dedication are required
to win this self-inflicted battle
the mindset of a champion,
to choose to run a path that few may travel.
