Poem
The sun begins it's sojourn westward which signals the end of the day... It is the time at which I run.. The boardwalk outlining the southern coast of Jamaica's shore ,stretches for miles and miles..the ocean splashing onto the boardwalk a fitting backdrop.. And I run, as I run myriad of thoughts cross my mind..as that Diana Ross classic of the 70s asks.. "Do you know where you're going to, do you like the things that life is showing you..do you know'' I ask myself that time and time again...Life has certainly taken me on a journey..the ups ,the downs ,much like the proverbial rollercoaster..at times you feel you have things under control, then the ride begins..hang on!! And I run..I have always fostered hopes of becoming my own entrepreneur again..who knows ,maybe the adage, age is just a number applies here... And I run... And as I run the sweat begins to run..and run freely.. But as I look ahead to where I am going..I remember how far I have come ..and the question hovers ,are there regrets..? And I run.. The home is to be renovated this year.. something of a Spanish vain..grills, pond maybe..lol.. Look at me ..Paul the designer.. And so I run.. My right knee ,just about bombed out...after the miles and miles..mile after mile..but I continue through the pain.. Car,after car passes ,sure they do not see ,nor do not care of the soul , running in the now dark.. I pass my halfway point, a coconut vendor is packing up his daily sales,I stop, quench my thirst .. And run.. The ocean seems calming a serenade to all runners.the lights from the city flickers across the bay..like little fireflies..gulls joining in on the concerto...it calls, have you ever listened..? tempting, seductively.. As I run I pass cars parked, couples doing their thing..lucky guy!! And I run ..an aeroplane thunders in..vacationers arriving for the summer.. My run has paused ..I turn , I look..I have like my life, trodded a very long way..and so I breathe..a deep breath..and resume.. From whence I came..
