Walk

I walked.

I expected the walk to be meaningless,

but then, what is meaningful after all?

Birds chirped, tree branches swayed,

and the clouded floated on a milk blue sky.

I saw a block of fallen tree, a dog barking at a window, and a group of children jostling friendly

(Was it friendly?)

I walked and then talked some more.

All the more my heart felt lighter.

It lightened enough

to carry the weight of the day.
