Within my mind

And one that tends to unwind

When walking about

This area of mine

Thoughts galore and running constantly

Both in the forefront and background

Though inside they make no sound

As I stand and stare upon the ground

With the steady movement of my feet 

And taking in the sunlight and gentle breeze

Being such a delightful treat

As I feel myself softly fall as a leaf

Lying down and looking up at the sky

But ready to get up and walk on by

At a pace with a mission painted on my face

That could be seen for miles around

But what I have found

During this walk here

Was a moment to just breathe and disappear

Into a place that only knows my footprints

And welcomes me back every single time

As I move about a single path and pattern

As a zig zag line but I just don’t care

For this is where I walk

Yet also stop and stare

A storied but personal affair

To be continued…….
