A Walk Taken on Earth Day


A walk took me yesterday.
It carried me with it wherever it went. 
It danced in the late afternoon sunlight.

I had to learn the steps
And try to tread lightly  
It was a space walk on Earth Day.

I was taken by the path
Taken with its movement 
Drawn to its contours.

I was helped along the way 
to reflect on what it is 
to have a path choose you.

And made to imagine
The distance and time remaining
for this world's days, here on earth.
