Amidst the group of jogger

Amidst the group of joggers,

I joined to have a quick run,

complete the targeted steps,

for growing my health quotient. 

Sun streaks through the leaves,

walking on the concrete beneath,

encountering frequent fellow walkers,

I struggled, to keep up the pace. 

And I paused, tried creating spaces,

changed directions, for better movements,

with each round, more people gather,

involving themselves, in this healthy endeavor. 

So I wondered...

How great it would be,

having a place for myself,

being away from this crowd,

having some room for privacy. 

While I tread, and sprint,

inhaling fresh air, of the morning,

basking in the golden rays of sunshine,

feeling the wet grass on my naked feet. 

For, I seek the silence,

having a complete experience, 

unburdened by surrounding distractions, 

each hike, bringing a moment of solace. 

Then again, I am not alone,

a desolate land, is a rarity,

so, with a new-found gratitude,

I accepted my blessed reality... 

And I restarted my run,

amidst the group of joggers.
