Early Morning Run

Air crisp and
cool.
Tap, tap, tap
down the
street.
The sky a brilliant
blue.
The leaves burn
and warm.
The mountains boast
golden hues, dotted with alizarin. Burnt
orange too.
The earth holds on to the last vestiges of
summer.
Waning flowers bow to the new season ushering
in.
Bright green grasses soon to
quiet.
I breathe in the soulful
moment.
Reassured by
nature.
I found my way home.
