A Thought For Your Walk
A horizontal stroll through life
is one way to do it,
fairly safe for you.
Stepping sideways, carefully
avoiding catastrophe;
such as falling off the roof
or plunging through the floor.
Things you have not done before,
or even wish to do.
A vertical sprint to life hints at an edge,
living life up to it!
Climbing and striving artfully, also
avoiding catastrophe.
Things you have not done before;
learning that falling or plunging
may be things you adore.
Perhaps a combination jog is best,
neither perpendicular nor parallel;
a sort of sprint-stroll, or stray-dash,
which also includes a rest.
All things you have done before,
or wish to, or wish not to do.
Whether up or down or side to side,
your walk is always you.
