Journey Round the Block
I found myself
Out walking yesterday
In the warmth of the sun
And cool of the shade
Talking to the One
Within about who
And what I truly am
As a sentient, human being
And a man. I discovered
Nothing more or less remarkable
Than the sum total of all
The thoughts, words and deeds
I’ve ever produced, not withstanding
Every drop of love I’ve known.
With every step I took, in retrospect
I saw how much the grass had grown.
While birds flew by as if I
Were standing still inside
A vacuum or vortex deep in space
Waiting for this magic moment
To dissolve and disappear.
Seeing the world more clear
I ended my journey ‘round the block
Thankful I still have some time left
On the clock.
