Month: September 2024

september stroll

i went for a walk and was feeling kind of high

when i came upon a creek that was bluer than the sky

in the woods, i saw autumn slowly creeping up a tree

at the lake, this stupid goose wouldn’t stop mooning me

i finally grew tired and headed home to rest

as the sun sank slowly in the west

walking among wildflowers

walking among wildflowers,

i feel especially fortunate;

so many of my friends

never made it to my age.

i would say this to you:

when the woes of the world

weigh heavily on your shoulders,

put them down for a minute,

let the sun shine on your face,

breathe in the fragrant air,

and remember to be amazed.

oh yeah, and one last thing:

take every opportunity to go

walking among wildflowers.
