walk – leaf and twig

To Dwell Inside Magnificence

an autumn
walk in the woods
is to step inside the masterpiece

side by side
we round the bend
into the new now

a scent so
delicate and delectable
it transports me back to childhood

a winter walk
the wood’s gifts of beauty
match every step

every beauty
was compounded
because we shared it

walk along
the pasture fence
every post an old friend

solitary walk
a revelation of light
darkness cannot hold

the landscape unfurls
its green velvet carpet
for the day to walk

the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks

the rooster walks with intent
wearing indifference
as his charm

a slow walk
yields
a bounty of beauty
