Walk to the Beat

You fiddle while you diddle as

You piddle with your feet.

Marking time, making rhyme,

Dilly-bopping on your way.

Finding action in the traction

In the ground beneath your feet,

As the mumble and the rumble

Meet the jumble of the day.

Terrifying, mystifying,

Evil-eying circumstance

Turns to muddle in a puddle

As you cuddle in the dark.

Wistful melancholy thinking

Edges you toward the brinking

As your ship is slowly sinking

And you fail to hit the mark.

But the tide keeps slowly turning

Casting doubt upon the yearning,

Giving way to seeds of learning

That can save you from defeat.

And you keep the rhythm going,

Ever-growing, ever flowing,

Moving forward without knowing

As you’re walking to the beat.
