Wistfully, I

Wistfully, I

Wistfully I stare
Runners so carefree and light
Bounding over the roads
Without care or restraint

Wistfully I read
Training schedules fired up
Mileage and intervals to power up
Cardio, endurance, burn, burn, burn

Wistfully I imagine
A time when I could bound without restraint
A period when I could fire up and go forever
A phase when I had speed without pain

Wistfully I sigh
How I wished to be on the roads
Wistfully I plead
My knee should be more cooperative

Wistfully I hope
