Run For Hope

Completed my first official run- Terry Fox 8km
Not much to speak of. Pretty slow and had a tough time on the sand.
But feel a small spark of achievement.
Its pretty fun, and the obasang in me adored the free towel, the banana, the drinks. Purple wristband. Ain't life great?
Pity about the race T-shirt though.
Coz its Terry Fox Run, there are runners with prosthestics, still moving ahead in life.
Count blessings. I have 2 legs, however fleshy they may be...

Looking forward to more races to come.

Shards
Jiggle and tinker
In that empty case
Once gapping and flushed
Gradually, hard shell grows over
No longer will it tear, nor will it sever
The shape that beats and resides within.

Shards
Littered and trinkled
Across the floor of surroundings
Carefully, Gingerly, tired feet tread
No longer will one look on with longing
The singular thing that stays out of reach.

Shards
Trouble yet covered
Behind the eyes of those haunted
Thoughtfully, helplessly stashed away
Though pained to see their windows clouded...
Inevitable, you know, will this once again occur...
