I Walked
I walk
I walked the earth
with dark and heavy steps
I walked the earth in search of something
I walked the earth until my feet turned black.
There were times of great plenty
there were times of great need
there were times when the spirit withered
I confused what I wanted with what was needed.
I walk
I walked the earth
in an eternal, desperate circle.
Where nothing was seen nor heard
except for the shadow of a lonely step
and the scream of a flightless bird.
At times the walk was profound
at times it was quite mundane
at times I walked in a cleansing drought
at times I walked in a parched-out rain.
I once walked in the ego of darkness.
I once walked the path of self-deception.
Something always brought me back into the light
Into the realm of grace and divine perfection.
I walked
I walked this earth.
