I greet the morning
Slide into the Darkness
Embrace the silence
Moon and stars
My feet
Heavy and awkward
Meet the pavement
In
A lame attempt at fitness
I don’t soar
I can’t begin to think
I’m like those who
Leave me in their wake
I fake the athlete
Sweat and striving
Stretch and stride
But meet the morning
With its peace
And it’s completeness
Wrap myself in
The cloak of stars
