Morning run

A morning run:



It's morning now, the sun has risen..
You wake up , rinse,repeat, a clockwork routine
like a hamster in a cage..
Its time to pack up and go to work, just like every other day..

But, what if,just what if, today of all days
you think of running away..

What if today, you give up being a robot
push open the door
step out and put your best foot forward..

Step on the green lawn and the wet mud
wet from the early morning dew
stop, breathe and Take a long deep one,

push open the gates, get on the road
what would you take the left or right
For today, be unpredictable and take the road which your
heart says yes and mind says no..
just take it without any inhibitions

Step on the tarmac and feel the cold grey road,
pick up the pace and run
from a slow jog to a quick sprint
Run, run like there's no tomorrow

Ignore the faces looking at you,
the buses and cars passing you by..
Run like its the end of the world..

Run by buildings, office, schools
the dark grey buildings they call offices
run past temples, mosques, churches
the places of worship that divide us

Run past it all,
Run past ambition, money, greed, hatred
leave it all behind

run till you reach the end of your city and enter another,
do not stop and keep running from one state to another
from one culture to another,
from one border to another

Run and leave all your past behind,
Till you reach the end of the world
Till the warm sand touches your feet

And with ever step, you tend to sink in
keep walking as you can run no more now,
keep walking towards the great blue vastness before you..
where the sky meets the earth

Walk into the warm frothy water, on which the orange sphere reflects
a few more steps further..and the sand gives away, your feet gives away
and you don't sink, but the waves carry you with them..
closer to the bright orange sphere, which is slowly turning grey

Would you look behind at this point or just go with the waves ?
