Running Blind

Didn't wear my glasses
   out the door this morning
Ran into black
Other runners appeared
   like colourful shapes
   flashing onto a screen
   then blurring past me
With faith I stepped believing
   the ground would be
   same as it was days before
On the beach
   lamplight splitting the sand
   a grey-scale mat
Come on Sun!
   I'm running blind
Back up the beach
   pushing against the wind
   playing a deafening beat
Persistent, I run on
  & the developing day at last
  comes into view.
