The stillness in the sprints

By lulu

Feeling my soft shoes 

Impacting the ground

My calves and my lungs,

Burning from effort 

But it feels so good

Because even though 

I’m confined to this 

One house, this one town

With the same people

I feel like I can 

Go places, or fly

With every step and

Push off the asphalt

I feel free, or calm.

 

So I guess, for me,

Being calm is not

A place or a thing,

But movement, and sports.
