This is the second poem in a series of six.
The Old Way 2
I’m walking along the Old Way,
And I exult.
Nowhere else are roads so gentle beneath my feet.
Nowhere else would I find the path before me
So soft, and sprinkled with stars.
Let me stop for a moment and close my eyes.
Let me just be still and silent
And feel the ground beneath my feet.
I must connect, or re-connect, with the world.
With my world.
Here, I can feel the past as a living thing,
And like a meditation,
I can use this
To still my troubled mind.

Thanks, Kevin. Perhaps I’ll write another couple of hundred then…

You are welcome, Mick. I am sparing with my reblogs (or think I am), and only share when something chimes at a deep level with me.

I’m much the same, Kevin. I very rarely reblog, and when I do it tends to be on social issues. So thanks again.
