Jinx

Spoke to soon. Broke my own heart. Haven't run for three days. Maybe tomorrow.

Say a prayer for me that I can learn my lessons.

Running Wild

My feet fall heavy on the pavement,
Breathing in gasps.
I curse myself for immobility
And name myself: failure

Gradually gravity releases its grip.
Pain becomes mere discomfort.
Moments of strength emerge
And I can see a pinpoint of life ahead

One afternoon, released on the path,
I run Wild.
The wind, the rain, this hill
Throw down the gauntlet
And I will not relent.

Holly J: I am 44 . I am often absentminded, angst-ridden, and absolutely alliterative. But, I aspire to adventure.
