    I Walk On

    Forward thinking,
    Backward talk,
    Silent musing
    On a lonely walk,
    Contradictions
    Lead the way,
    Wreaking havoc
    On this lovely day,
    Small ironies overfill
    The cracks in the street,
    And shattered ego’s
    Crunch beneath my feet,
    Smug arrogance
    Pollutes
    My once pure air,
    And there’s nothing in sight
    To conflate or to share,
    And obstacles
    Drift and sway
    In the wind,
    Waiting to fall
    On the path I intend,
    And ,yet,I walk on,
    Head held high,
    For blessings from heaven
    Will rain from the sky.

    Beautifully written... too bad more people can't share in that "keep walking" attitude that you have here.

    I appreciate the intentional and determined choice made, to just walk on...despite what road blocks and stumbling stones...May you day be hassle free! Good one!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
