A WALK TO REFLECT
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
a heavy torn blanket
covers the planets
through the navy night
peeping through stars and a moon so bright
a beautiful owl flies over my head
so gracefully, so white
my fingertips are so red
my face is blue
the snow, is unwelcome, in my shoes
the orange glow, from a swaying lamp, gives clues
which direction to go
to find my way home
into the night I roam
the silent bitter dark blue sky above
fills my heart with such love
how blessed I am
to have somewhere to go
as I enter my crooked gate
put my hand in my pocket
to find my key, place it in the door to unlock it
A warm fire will await
On my stand I will hang my coat and hat
Greeting me will be my cat
My love hands me a cup of hot chocolate
I warm near the amber flames
To have a roof over my head
A comfortable bed
Food on my plate
So, a walk to reflect
A chill to reject
For my soul is warm
No matter of life’s storms
Outside my window
The world passes by
The birds fly
The branches sway
Life for me is perfect
A walk to reflect
What life is all about
As long as I have love in my heart
And hugs in my life
Words I can shout
Sweet nothings I can hear
My family near
A view so beautiful
To my maker I’m dutiful
A walk to remind me
The simple things in life are free
To warm to others
As we are all sisters and brothers
A walk to reflect
We all hold the key
It’s called humanity
