The Solitary Walk

The Solitary Walk

On a solitary walk you are never alone
for you are there
and all the you that ever were,
walking into another you
fresh made of the day’s own flight.

It matters not where you go, 
this you now coming down the road
this you only now known to you,
with eyes aglimmer to behold
such infinite treasure in clear light.

A radiance wonderful and much sweeter
than any you that ever was,
this fleeting glimpse of heaven to amaze,
vivid colors dapple painted in wild display,
your new eyes seeing another you

than ever you would have known before.

Hope you like this little poem and my watercolor rendering of a nearby park.
