I ran a lifetime, naked in a blinding freezing rain, the dizzy body numbness the bloody breathing pains my distant disembodied footsteps, were all the world to me while my reality came down to moving forward. I forgot the reason for my flight, forgot the terror of the night, forgot my vanity my sanity forgot humanity, and still I ran on through the night, until my body died and fell away; I forgot I'd been inside it, I kept running. ©2003 by icebox |

icebox There is a place that runners go that feels like this, I know, it is the same place where a poet goes to find her soul.  |

Sometimes when I read your poetry I wonder what on earth goes through your mind in a single day. There are a million stories it seems in your every thought, and I hope you never run out. Very interesting look at life in this poem. |

You run long enough you forget why, just that you have to... I to, am a runner. Susan |

Aenimal ~ Thought you might. *smile* Martie ~ Yes, it is the same place. When my body worked better, I used to enjoy running. Just one more thing I've left behind. Mysteria ~ *laugh* Trust me when I tell you that you do not want to be inside here! *smile* Susan Caldwell ~ Sometimes I feel that way about living. |
