As I walk,

My feet rub against the brush

Walking at ease, at peace

No rush

As I breathe

In and out

I see the smoke all around

As I blink

I feel the cold between my eyes

The corners start to tear

And I appear to cry

As I’m walking

I don’t know it’s there

But there’s a journey to unfold

Fair and unfair

This cold humid place seems eerie

But I’m a tower a tyrant

And all of nature fears me

As I walk

I hear the thumps and slaps of my soles

Only thing motivating me is my will and my soul

Another journey to uncover

I must see

I must feel

I must hear

I must breathe

I must blink

As I walk
