I love to walk
Be it a stroll through lanes deep in thought,
To pace through a busy street in a hurry,
Or to scramble in a dense forest in awe…
**
I walk,
Reflecting on the sights around,
Recollecting the day gone by,
Remembering the notes of the day ahead,
Reciting a poem long forgotten,
**
I love to walk,
knowing that those behind, will follow
knowing that those ahead, will lead
The feeling of walking by myself,
knowing that when I stop, some will nudge me to move on,
knowing that when I don’t turn up, a few will return to pull me along
The walk of life!
There is always someone ahead or behind,
who will catch up.
I might be too fast, they might be a little slow
MOVE ON some will say…
And as we walk ahead, life will catch up!
