a walk one day

 

seeking clarity in beauty

noises of everyday in the distance

fade with every step

intoxicating honeysuckle lined paths gently guiding along the way

birds sharing their stories through songs of the day

bullfrogs rubber banding their response

sun’s warm presence on my face

helping me close my eyes and take in the moment

water flowing in the distance overshadowing my mind's chatter

dragonflies exploring in all their wonder

the trot of my Chappy on the wooden boardwalk 

provides percussion for the day

the moss giving indication of where we are today

anhingas enjoying their private oasis behind a fence where additional surprises are to be found by those willing to see

the continuous spider web along the aging fence screaming interconnection between all things

the shade of the trees bringing breezes to the warmth of the day

the cushion of shedding bark lightening our steps

the bridge that is a beacon bringing us closer to reality

silos signaling the end of our experience, or 

maybe it's just the beginning.

a new perspective

a little more space

a little more open

a little more clarity

ready to continue my day
