today I went walking
but I did not see
any of the sights
in front of me
I didn't see a house
or a bush or a road
I just walked until
I wound up back home
today I went walking
and I stared at the ground
the sidewalk below me
treasures unfound
trees reaching upward
squirrels running fast
all the time I'm wishing
this all would pass
because I want to be home
hot coffee and guitar
I don't want to leave
I don't want to go far
but still I walk
and I'm so glad
because my body needs it
pretty damn bad
today I went walking
now I'm at home
but all that's worth seeing
is still unknown
maybe tomorrow
I'll be surprised
I'll go for my walk
with open eyes
