The Midnight Jog
My heart rises and falls
As a tide on a moonlit beach
With each movement comes pain and also fulfillment
I feel the sweat drip, down my face on off my cheek
The pain, brings its own form of motivation
I breathe heavily, but tell myself not to give up
For a brief moment, the pain is gone
I can see things moving quickly around me
I am almost lost in a reality seen only by me
I pause the moment, and look around
At the beauty that others have forgotten
The beauty that comes in forms all its own
I think quietly about how many times, I myself have passed this world
Not stopping to look around, not caring what it holds
I drive on, and again I see the blurs of everyday life
My feet dancing to the beat of my heart
I round the corner, and my feet slow in anticipation
My body lurches to a halt and I've made it
Back to my world of pain, forgetting, and solitude
I thrust open the doors and take a seat
My legs tingle and my heart begins to slow
I am home
