Description
Foot after foot,
mile after mile,
crunching of gravel:
Hint of a smile.
Sweat beading,
dripping from my brow.
Walking past green pastures:
My only companion a cow.
Ache in my calves,
strained muscle in my back,
well-worn hiking boots,
garbed head-to-toe in black.
It’s all joy in motion,
that feeling of a great walk,
no need for senseless prattle,
not even a desire to talk.
No words here are needed:
Silence becomes me.
No one to judge me:
Silence sets me free.
