I took a walk today
Sometimes I sunk down into the mud
Sometimes I flew up among the trees
The earth became a part of me as I became a part of the
whole
Earth wide, feet long, sunlight glinting in my eyes
The trees tall and swaying with long strands of moss
Every skyward look and earthbound glance
Served to bring my feet into the earth as I waltzed
And wondered in the wood
Symbolic pathways of my brain, forming
Long winding complicated mountain turns, foaming
Seamlessly and lazily down and up
Flying yet again in porous ground
Swimming in fragrant air, the distant
Sounds of cars and people and barking dogs
A backdrop in the small wooded oasis of my soul
