Grace runs fleetly
over continuous world
that spins under swift feet.
Head high, full of joy
to leap, to reach
for the brilliant sky.
Chest heaves,
inhales pure air of one
who elegantly runs,
infused with grace.

Lone runner
determinedly  plods around
gravel track of  life.
With each beat, weary feet
echoes endless desire,
someday to find, grace.




Wordancer, the one who dances with words.

Such stark contrast.  You did this nicely "Oh Great Dancer With Words."

Wordancer, What a lovely graceful poem, your words grace this poem once and again. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
