I took a walk today
From the edge of the yard to just past the stop sign
I walked as far as my mind could dream
I walked from the town hall to the White House
Watching the birds migrate south
I walked from Baxter to Amicalola
Taking the rocky path in stride
I walked across the plains and dessert
Heading westward until I end up where I started
I walked across the Pacific
Made some Australian friends who played the didgeridoo
Then to the Philippines and China
To walk on the Great Wall, admiring the irony of civilization
Afterward, I made a home in India
Digging for emptiness
I walked without a purpose
Sauntering around my head in the woods
