Walking In a Quiet Place
walking in a quiet place
taking in the surroundings
not much to see, but it is what i need
coming back from somewhere between guess where and where the hell, i decided to just stop
i got that i-am-not-ready-to-go-back-to-my-normal-life-yet-dammit feeling
while staring into some type of space, stumble across a creek and almost fall in
i find a rock and throw it in
i then find another rock and throw that one in
becoming enjoyably addictive, i just continuously throw rocks until time becomes an ancient vapor in my mind
before i know it, then sun begins to go down
i say to myself 'i think i better be on my way'
you see, my watch read 6:38pm....and i have 158 more miles to go
if not for the job i have that made it possible for me to take this here trip, i would follow the arrow that reads 'something or 'nother beach-64 miles'
all of a sudden, i again begin to wish i could win the lottery
oh, the mere joy of real life!
