“The Least Walked Path”
By Afriwitch
Sometimes I gaze out my window thinking about what might’ve been
Thinking of how different I would’ve been, and then I feel the pulse
The beating of life deep below my toes as they guide me out into the forest.
The fallen leaves crunch under my weight and they are incorporated into the leafy floor
Shy licks of tiny voices are carried like waves in the wind’s song
I lean my head up against an evergreen, just to feel the energy the trees emits in the air
I continue to walk as the sun’s rays, hit my back and the warmth seeps deep into the contours of my bones
Silent whispers of love and appreciation leave my tongue and taste the air, thankful for what has begun
Yes my life has many paths, but I stand tallest walking with this one.
