Musing and running in great company : and I don't mean Reliance.

In honor of one of my good friends who is planning to run the marathon in the New Year....





Fingers to the keyboard;
they run,
musing,
spouting observations,
nudging,
winking,
applauding ,
wondering,
pausing
to take
a breath
with
some photos....




Now toes on to roads,
he runs,
adjusting
his number,
emblazoned in front,
as the oxygen
flows in,
enthused,
excited,
wondering
about the
fellow runners,
applauding ,
a child here,
a lady there,
a father,
running for a cause,
muscles rippling.

He shuts his eyes,
and sees the tape;
A few steps more,
and he makes it,
a great end
to a greater effort,
practicing daily.

And she smiles
and stirs the milk,
bubbling happily
in excitement
along with her;
Yes,
she promised him
payasam
for lunch.......:-)
