During our class visit to Madison Square Park, seeing everyone gathered in one place to enjoy the Spring weather reminded me of how I feel when I go for runs in Central Park. 

The 6AM breeze, while surrounded by trees,

As spring starts and the sun shines, doors open,

A community of pets, runners,

the old and the young join hands.

When I run, the world slows down,

Trying to catch my breathe, stretch my legs,

No matter how much I want to stop I can’t,

Community around me keeps going.
