My Walk

[agburns84]

I walked into the forest because I wanted to see the trees,

 

I wanted to hear the voices of the infinite creatures of the night,

 

I walked into the clearing because I wanted to be alive and free,

 

I see so much beauty all around, the night is dark, yet all is bright.

 

 

 

I walked up the mountain because I wanted to see a landscape new,

 

I wanted to forget all things I once would fear,

 

I walked to the summit because I wanted to seek the highest view,

 

I see now a world below me so distant, yet all is now wonderful and clear.

 

 

 

I walked to the sea because I wanted to see waters so blue,

 

I wanted to search for something hidden beneath the wondrous seas,

 

I walked the sands of time because I wanted to live for each moment true,

 

I see the passing ships of days gone by, thinking of those ahead as I walk into the breeze.

 

 

 

I walked into the storm because I wanted to feel its eternal might,

 

I wanted to feel the wind and rain as I sought new paths to follow,

 

I walked through the hazardous torrent, my heart summoning its will to fight,

 

I see now my journey ahead as I prepare to embrace my challenges of tomorrow.
