Try walking thru life
Seeing the forest through the trees
View the big picture.
Haiku
Questioning my purpose
Walking everyday
And yet I’m going nowhere
On the treadmill of life
Need to stop and get off
That sad revolving belt
Get out in the real world
Find new paths to walk on
New voices to listen
To, and new faces to see
Realize I’m in control
Of where my feet step
I need to choose wisely
And plan future paths
Syllabic Verse
Determined feet
Walking on a cinder path
Risen from the ashes
Tredding upon broken dreams
Seeking a new foundation
Tanka
Walking down the street
Daffodils strewn all about
Flowers at my feet
Happenstance recipient
Of Random Act of Kindness

Today as I was walking downtown in search of a restaurant, my eyes beheld a strange sight. I was passing by an old abandoned theatre and there, in the entrance way were scattered 5 fresh, bright golden daffodils, just waiting for a leading lady to pick up. How fortuitous for me!
What a story they could tell
Of places they walked
One by one my shoes are wearing out.
For me, buying shoes is not an easy task as I need a large size with a wide width. Therefore, when I find a pair of shoes that are comfortable I wear them until they basically fall apart, which is what seems to be happening lately.
As I begun to throw each worn out pair away abit of nostalgia hit me and I was reminded of all I had done in those shoes. Work shoes and dress shoes, they all held many memories within them, but life has changed, those times are past, and they must go, for their purpose has been served.
New shoes are here
Opportunities await
In each step they take
A new journey starts as I put on my new shoes and bag up these old shoes for disposal. I am looking forward to what each step brings!
