A Walking Man

A walking man may never know
Which way his rugged trails may go
But always takes time to pause and reflect
Upon the miles his feet have trekked.
The vistas: always majestic and engaging
Being thankful for each breath he is taking
The walking man continuously searches
Each step leads him on in his purpose.
For the walking man the point is to learn
Of more flora and fauna around every turn
And share from his heart with each kindred soul
To awaken new dreams and steady the goal.
But sooner or later all tails must end
So the walking man pauses to catch his wind
Then someone queries – "Why do it again?"
The walking man replies – "Because I can."
