The Runner
Thud. Thud. Thud. The drumming in my chest matches the pounding of my feet. The road is long, my muscles are sore, but I can’t stop. I can never stop. The constant movement is barely enough to keep it all at bay. I can’t risk letting the damn break. Every image to my left. Every memory to my right. Trailing along without breaking a sweat. My eyes sting and my body reeks of perspiration. But I have to go on. I have to keep pushing.

so simple and pretty. Your photography is awesome
Goldfinches - love them, and they frequent our yard regularly. Nice haiku!
Nice! I love watching birds out my window at the feeder!❤️
This is such a vivid an evocative piece, creating a sense of content and warmth to enjoy the beauty of nature.
A good way to describe feeding the birds that I do at least once a week when I fill the feeders.
