I took a long walk

Down this old road

The one that curves left

Then right

And ultimately disappears

If only for a moment

But in that moment

Was it despair or delight?

Feeling lost

No boundaries

Exhilarating

Terrifying

My breath escaping me

Yet my eyes entranced

Partly wanting direction

Mostly needing adventure

Walking slower the further I travel

Enjoying this moment

Time was released

Dusk was coming quick

But I had no worry

My hands explored the new-found foliage

As my heart grew in bounds

My breath returned to me ten-fold

I was never really lost

My heart now found

No map was needed

To find this moment

Just a long walk

An old road

And eyes that could see

What an old soul

Desperately needs
