Learning to walk, one foot in front of the other

A walk is a significant thing
Foot pounding pavement
the most mechanical motion we are capable of
The mind has time to dwell

To get lost on unkempt paths
long since treaded in real time
imagining bridges to gaps which
are impassable in immediacy

Solution after solution
Thoughts work overtime in their inward world
While the feet dredge on
an ever stretching
never ending path

The monotony would kill the mind
but the feet know their job and do it well
And in a subtle way
the feet know how important
their work is to the mind

And while each foot must stop in destination
and each mind must once again focus on reality

It is in walking that their truest purpose
is manifest
The feet for moving forward
the mind for forward thinking

A walk is all some people really need

I always intend to take a stroll
But some days I just feel like
I don't have the feet for it
