Out for a Run

Slow
but moving

Slow
but breathing

Slow
but noticing the trees
the squirrels
the muddy footprints
the smiling dogs

Slow
but feeling the air
cool in my lungs
cool on my face
damp in my hair

Slow
but hearing the music
jazz 
sixty years old
feels like home

Slow
but still moving
still feeling
still living.
