My Heart Finds a Way

My legs make me run Down the sun dappled trail, Chasing my dreams With every long stride. My heart’s pumping fast As I catch my breath And enter my zone. My pace will keep me Running effortlessly Through the woods, across creeks And up steep inclines. I empty my mind of all my troubles. I see with my eyes The beauty of nature, The peaks and the valleys. I hear with my ears The leaves softly whispering And the cheerful melodies Of the woodland birds. I feel my breath Blowing in and out As my lungs are filled With the fragrant clean air. I am at peace In this beautiful moment. My dreams become real As my heart finds a way.
