Taking the Air

In the mist, or in the crisp,

I enjoy taking the air,

To pretend to be a pro hiker

Upon the sconce, to mud up my boots,

And to show them off, as proof,

Of my good exercise.

 

In the mist, or in the crisp,

I enjoy taking the air,

So, I can get lost, but find again,

My basic cares, with my buds playing

An array of pieces, that become

The voices of the flora.

 

In the mist, or in the crisp,

I need to take the air,

To clear away the dirge-like debris,

Of what I’ve seen, heard and thought,

So, by foot, my solo therapy

Restarts my sanity.

 

In the mist, or in the crisp,

I need to take the air,

To explore the options of sanctuary,

As home is where the heart is,

And not a fixed space, thus,

On foot I go, to find my kingdom.
