A mile of my time
marked to the rhythm
of my shoes
on the old black top
My mind is free
to come and go
as it pleases
My body no longer
begs for my attention
as it’s grown accustom
My stream of consciousness
babbles along the way
until the butterflies
hush a moment
to get lost in
This mile of mine
empties and refills me
energizes and stills me
It lets me be
for a while

Your mile is your friend
Talk to it and believe
While the pounds you shed
A healthier Lori in the end.

P.S.: Couldn't help myself, I know you are involved in making yourself feel and look better. Go! Go! Go!

Love the escape idea and I think we all have to walk our own mile once in a while.

"This mile of mine
empties and refills me

That's really a great ending and such a peaceful aura.
