M. L. Kiser Poet Tanka

Walking

Walking it seems is,
Not just an exercise but,
Also a release.
Meditating while walking
In the woods, will lend one peace.

In the Labyrinth
Walking while in prayer lends
Oneness with your God.
Initiates listening;
God speaks as you meditate.

Listen to the voice,
With your soul and you will hear
Instructions that, take 
You safely through your lifetime;
Silence brings better hearing.

Carolyn Devonshire February 1, 2019 at 5:30 AM The woods is a great place to commune with both God and nature. When we ask for guidance, He responds. Lessons can be learned when we listen. Well done, M.L.! M. L. Kiser February 1, 2019 at 8:33 PM Thank you so much, Carolyn.

Caren Krutsinger January 31, 2019 at 7:21 PM A beautiful poem that probably does not include the weather we have had this week, as there would have been nothing relaxing about walking in this tundra. M. L. Kiser January 31, 2019 at 10:52 PM True and no, I needed to get away from the weather for awhile so I took a vacation in my own imagination. Thanks.
