"Walk"

 While traveling through the early morn
A path leading to parts unknown
Birds proudly serenade the dawn
Squirrels race to find an elusive acorn

The oaks wave not in the morning hush
Standing tall and true, majestic towers for all to see
Maple canopies displaying an earthen kaleidoscope
Their colors, like billboards, advertising Autumn's rush

Sun, a brilliant glow, illuminating every stride
Revealing its' dominance, Ruler of the day
Brilliant light, filtered through eyes, filling the mind
Splendid thoughts expanding, flowing deep and wide

The cycle ends not, exploring this sphere
Treasures to appreciate, nature in full splendor
People to study, past and present alike
Creatures to admire, both far and near

All forms of nature within our reach, but failing to see
The lessons freely shared in every circumstance
Choices made, never random, holding us hostage
Clear and concealed, further propelling us into the journey

Where this path ends, we consider and converse
Expressing thoughts and dreams held in highest regard
Never completely knowing where this walk will lead
As we choose, so shall we experience our Universe
