Mid-Afternoon
Walk
This
heat that wraps my body close
beneath
a sky I’ve dreamed for months
the
pounding of my feet upon the walk
the
feel of my weight upon my foot
Ah!
It’s great to be alive today
The
air that freely fills my lungs within
clothes
that press against my chest
the
glory of green leaves at last in their relief
against
the wondrous blue at infinity’s edge
Ah!
It’s great to be alive today
Blood
pounds hot in my veins again
my
muscles twist and flex
this
body works its working well
as
I in walking experience life
Ah!
It’s great to be alive today
