Walk . . . . . Let’s take that walk we’ve been promising for days I’ll show you that crop of forget-me-nots on our way This evening air is so crisp and fair There’s no telling where we’ll end up once we get there I’ll tell you that story of how my best friend died how I still don’t forgive myself and sometimes still cry I’m a good listener too and enjoy a good tale Tell me about your childhood, siblings, and relationships that failed I won’t expect much while we meander along our path Just an ear and a hand and a heartfelt laugh When we pass the tobacco fields, those that even remain, I’ll remember those summers, the heat, and the rains I hope we spy deer, or a hawk seeking prey Or a stand of old pines where kids sometimes play If we walk far enough we’ll eventually meet ocean Step into the tide and let the water rush around us By the time we return we will have opened ourselves Found things that are new, and the old ones we’ll have left And when we walk through the door and sit down for a few We’ll both know this as home, you with me and I with you . #poet #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #writer #poetrycommunity #poems #wordporn #writersofig #words #spilledink #instapoet #poets #creativewriting #instapoem #writers #writerscommunity #instapoetry #spokenword #poetryisnotdead #ncpoetry #ncpoet #communityofpoets #artofpoets #poetryislife #poetryislove #poemgasm #igpoem #poetryforthesoul #worldwidepoetry
