Long Walks

Nothing quite refreshes like

An energetic walk outside

Finding the forgiving grace

Of Mother Earth in every stride.

The clock becomes a distant measure

Wandering the countryside til

All the complicated worries,

Every choice is simplified.

 

Breathing in the morning air,

Or evening if it be the better

Pacing every nimble step,

No ropes to bind

No chains to fetter.

Time loses all meaning

And space becomes unbounded

As petty problems melt away

And sorrows seem unfounded.

 

Pausing on this pleasing path to

Watch the willows gently sway.

Lingering to catch the breeze.

Must be on my way.
