Things Poetic

Age Aging gracefully,  Unlikely so, more disgracefully, but Trying to reach the levels my mind desires, but my body And muscles cannot seem to That twinge that would disappear with a warm down now has hobbled my leg The hill that was easy to run up is now Everest on my lungs, But I remain intending to travel, work, love And not slow down Till I’m put into a box of reeds and placed near her

 Gym drive Reaching for gym clothes, thinking, no, hoping, that they fit they do, unfortunately so the dance begins again finally puts socks on, whilst unsteadily balancing on a foot, a foot in the air shoes the ensemble is complete Number of reps of each exercise listed in my mind, as I drive there Hopefully its not too busy sweaty bodies blocking the equipment sitting there on their phones, or talking patience, wait, move to something not planned how long have I been here only 30 minutes ?  My joint shout back 'thats enough' my brain says, 'just a bit more' the more I go, the more my brain wins sore

 Mind and body Once, they were aligned what the mind thought,  the body did, exceeded what the mind thought and, in a couple of days do it again 2.5 km up and down, following a black line up on the left back on the right monotonous warm up, swim,  warm down collapse shower drive sleep
