Morning Walk

Dappled sunlight pathway
The morning softly speaks
Whispering of summer
BlueJay's complaining notes
Long ears in the brown grass
Murmur of working bees

Stride without intent
Savoring quiet
Gathering my strength
Feeding on nature
Hearing life's songfest

Turning away
From daily cares
Breathing  freely
Mind wandering

Memories
Yesterdays
Tomorrows

Air Sweet
Alone

Walk
