Even when I walk the track-

I look forward and never look  back.

Round and round and round I go

Never the wrong way – I go with the flow.

Growing stronger is always my goal

While sometimes I’m blue and sometimes I’m droll.

I’d rather be outside that’s for sure –

But, when it’s wet, I feel the allure.

Walk this way today and tomorrow reverse.

Let me stop now and end this verse!

 

As day fades to night –

pink kisses clouds

fog gathers and multiplies.

As day fades to night –

Water hurries, water scurries

leaving a wake of debris in its path.

As day fades to night –

spring roars to life with magical sound.

As day fades to night –

gentleness surrounds

and brings peace to the quiet.

As day fades to night –

Owls hoot their intent

while prey moves to safety.

As day fades to night –

Quiet reigns, dark gentleness surrounds,

and a hush quiets the busy-ness of day.

 

 

Today’s walk

get ready

layer up

even socks!

leave house

up driveway

gravel road

leaves skitter

birds sing

birds chirp

keep moving

one way

then reverse

wind hits

wind bites

nose freezes

cheeks burn

keep moving

words hurry

through head

finish walk

head home

enter house

too hot!

Remove layers

drink water

record thoughts…
