Walking On, Walking Through
Walking, walking, walking
Walking
On the go
Up and down and round and round
Getting on with the show.
Walking on, walking through
Keeping up with all to do.
And walking
Frees us too
Loosens up the muscles through
The rhythm of the stride
As we pass and feel beside
Us
The air moving by.
Walking
On the street
Free up the mind by freeing up the feet
To settle down the heart
Feeling better when you start
To walk
Along the beach
Striding out as tidal reach
Foams about your toes
And sea spray fills your nose.
Walking
Along an alpine way
Among the peak and chalets
Where soaring eagles sway
And drift on draughts of air
Carrying every care
Of yours to another place
Allowing you the space
For a bit of a respite
As you feel the delight
Of walking
Walking it away
The motion stills our day
Where calm
Can help us be
From our angst then
We are free.

We need to keep on walking. Beautiful poem, Simon.
Yep. And I need to do more of it, not just writing about it. Thanks, Damyanti. Your visits are a source of joy.
Haha, yes, walk more, talk less, Simon ;). Kidding. I need to do more of it, too. Do you use a fitbit?
I don’t use a fitbit. But my iPhone does that sort of thing in the ‘heart’ app.
