On My Walk
Walking
Feet treading
Again and again
Everyday
Eternally
On The Way
Uncertainty
My companion
Faithful friend
Together we go
Knowingly
Your Path meets You
Upon Your every step
On My Walk
I watch my feet
In grateful wonder
Appreciating
For I see so many feet
Echoes persisting
Of those have gone before
Images phasing
In a series
An endless succession
A line singlefile
The Chain of Life
And Me, a link
Birthed as inheritor
Encoded in my biology
Expressing in my mind
Voice of My Ancestors
An anchor in time
I hear their memories
Urging Me
Chidingly
I know their stories
Written in mine
My Responsibilities
Come to Me
Settling on my chest
For all my steps
Have never been mine
They have been my gifts.
