I walked

I walked along, 
the Columbia river - 
only to find 
missing pieces of myself. 

The lamb's ear 
that was so simple 
and soft
to touch 

While I was walking 
I was thinking-
about grief and how 
it makes you, you 
is it a prayer, or an answer?
or self-reflection

With my mind
wandering, about the world
and where I belong
I kept walking
