I Remember

I remember the excitement
the sheer exuberance
of feeling my body
slicing through the air
my legs propelling me
arms and legs pumping
as if I was nearly flying


Closing my eyes this moment
I remember the wind in my face
lungs gobbling air
my feet touching for a moment
on the way to the next step

As I watched these young athletes
I felt the joy of being alive
the simple pleasure of running
running as fast as legs can move

Most are still finding their legs
pathways being drawn from
thought to action,
imagination to realization

I'm still smiling as I look at these images,
seeing my young self anew
remembering again and again
it's all just a thought away
