The Walk That My Feet Have Traveled

The walk that my feet have traveled The walk that my feet have traveled The heart that my love has had… Blankets on beaches, bare feet in the sand And the ocean so subtle even as I can see the waves coming The joy that I’ve felt The wisdom I’ve found Like a key- finally opening up a door The lessons always seem to make my love lighter. The life that’s explored even in dark times, Makes the sunshine symbolize the hope in all circumstances The nails that try to cut my hands and feet go away leaving scares But the toughness of resilience only leaves greater determination And stronger armor The darkness is a fake tale that only can grow in doubt and fear But when the light comes on it all disappears And shows its true nature… of a small spec Fragmentation of imagination build up on the sand Faith restores me slowly as I open up room for it- I give it glory My eyes show my soul When I filter out the corrosion and death of present or past And at last the walk is just that much more tolerable To wake and smell the clearness, To feel the peace, to hope and look up once more. And just smile because it comes naturally Now… As my feet continue to walk.
