“Wake Me Up Then”

September
and I
are not friends

as summer’s
last breath
descends…

as the leaves
fall
to make amends…

as work intensifies
and
stress pretends…

as Winter stirs
and the dark
extends…

and I
can only watch
as it all ends.

“Running”

It’s just
you
and me.

Concrete slapping,
and my heels
hard tapping.

Sun blazing,
and the heat
unwavering.

Chest heaving,
and the thoughts
all leaving.

When I run,
I don’t do it
for fun.

Emotions messy,
and my nerves
testy.

Mother Nature,
the only opponent
to match my wager.

It’s just
her
against me.

And for now
the winner,
yet to be.
