A Walk

4 little steps to one.

8 little steps to his two.

Rustling leaves, and

A full harvest moon.

 

The price of walking late at night,

Or early in the morning -

Freshly spun cobwebs,

Dew on your shoes.

 

Little leaf shoots,

Springing into view.

Stillness, and quiet

That honors the day,

Frames the fear and

Freezes the anxiety,

Transforming them into

a vibrant Matisse.

 

Expressions of self are

On the way. Freed from

The frenzy of coffee brain

By fresh air, and nature.

 

Because each meme has value,

and brought together,

they are profound.

All tasks have a purpose,

All things have a sound.

The woosh of the wind,

The crackle of dry leaves.

The crunch of cold

Beneath my feet.

 

This is not a straight path.

 

This path is cyclical -

Living one day at a time,

One walk at a time,

These moments are mine.
