I’ve come to realize my future

while the sun returns and warmth

begins to embrace our days.

The challenges remain the same

realizing everything one believes

can fade away with the setting sun.

The world around us in a flux,

the necessary manner we reveal,

lets an optimism ease the pain.

~

For so many years while embracing 

the normal scheme of things we

often find a coping mechanism.

Like a walk on a summer’s eve,

the warmth we feel is comforting,

wishing we lived this way every day.

Remember those cobblestones,

the street wonderful like music

our steps dancing with every stride.

~

Walking lets us find that peace,

a peace of mind we’ll know alone.
