So I walk...

As I step out onto my porch
I take a minute to breathe in the air
around me. I close my eyes while the wind
whispers in my ear the events of the day. So I walk…
Each step I take, my foot discovers something new. I wonder who has taken these same steps and the journeys that have taken place. The walk is like trail mix, you never know what will come next, the raisin or the peanut. So I walk…
Lawnmowers groan for their hard work will soon pay off. The fresh crisp smell of the grass’ new cut brings me the sensational feeling of a brand new day. So I walk…
I listen to every bark imaginable, trying to visualize the arguments and conversations that these tiny creatures could possibly be having. So I walk…
Wonders of life, shown in every vehicle, swoosh right on past, leaving a story of fear, excitement, and new beginnings. So I walk…
Signs of happiness and reassurance prance around me celebrating my goals of the future every time I hear the birds cheer me on. So I walk…
Squirts of water spray, renewing the life of many little blades of green as they praise their lord of the gifts they receive. So I walk…
Beams of light shine upon me reminding me the importance of my life, and giving me the energy I need to keep on moving. So I walk.
