What does it mean to move<\/p>\n
one foot in front of the other,<\/p>\n
under boughs of trees planted long before<\/p>\n
we were born,<\/p>\n
under a rising sun, that since<\/p>\n
creation has risen and fallen into<\/p>\n
her place obscured some days but<\/p>\n
always there,<\/p>\n
under the pretense that we don’t have<\/p>\n
to forage food or to be neighborly and kind?<\/p>\n
Driving away our steps lost,<\/p>\n
and our early demise comes fast.<\/p>\n
A simple act, so recently neglected,<\/p>\n
but so needed in this hyper, coddled existence<\/p>\n
if only to feel the cool breeze,<\/p>\n
to see the sun peeking out waving in cerulean glee<\/p>\n
grateful to see us out and about on feet, moving forward.<\/p>\n
