To Run

Something stirs
just beneath

An urge to run
and run and run

To live amongst
the trees
and silence

Away from all

Can't run away
from yourself

Sensible chiding
from within

Does not quell
this urge

To run
and run
and run

Ahhh, to run. Especially when we are on our journey and the road becomes a little more unstable. Well said IK! Blessings.
