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.
