Journey’s End
I walk, on soft, fluffy grass
The mud gives way, absorbing my feet
I walk, on a sandy beach, yellow as golden rays
A thousand grains of sand slipping between my toes
I walk, through winter snow, as white as angels hands
The crunch of my feet, the mist in my breath
I walk, on hard, painful rock
From small to big, my feet stumble easily
I walk, on a winding path of dirt
Through forests and around hills unhindered
I walk, on a straight cobbled path of square stones
Avoiding the cracks and skipping along, like hop-scotch, though alone
I walk, through a field of golden wheat
The stems and kernels tickling me, gently parting for me
I walk, down a busy street full of noise and disquiet
My feet being stepped on, trying to keep pace with the beat
I walk, to open the door of an old house
The cold air meeting my face, the silence when the door shuts
At last, I am home

Thank you Debs
Thank you for your comment...i have a bunch of poems stored on my computer, some are a few years old, but i see this one seems to be more favarouble and it's one of my latest ones.
I have been to your blog and i enjoy reading your poems, and looking forward to browse all five pages of them (that shocked me for a second!....how long have you been a member?). I hope i can join your buddy list: im not sure wether to ask permission or just figure it out once i've been rejected, but i have done so anyway.
Looking forward to sharing more poems,
yours truly,
Kornelis
Many Thanks..
kornelis. Of course, it will be my pleasure for you to be on my buddy list. Its easier to keep track of your poetry that way.
Yes, as you can gather, i do, write alot!! I go through stages of writing for months, then maybe change to writing music, or doing art. Anything creative really.
I look foward to reading much more of your work.

You could have named this "Walking ithe Walk" as I think anyone reading this can relate to every step in the poem. Thank you for sharing this with us. It brings up memories of many walks in many places and your descriptions are wonderful.
