The Path

I like to take some time when I reach another

corner.

To look down at the path I just walked

over.

Examine all my steps and what I left behind.

All the pits and the holes and places where my sole dipped

and I could’ve tripped.

To see the places where my sole raised

and I walked un-phased.

I like to take some time when I reach another

corner.

To look up the path I’ll walk over.

Examine all the pits and the holes and

all the places where I’ll be raised, and I’ll walk un-phased.

I like to take some time when I reach another

corner.

To see the beauty in the cycle, and never stop walking

forward.
