Take a Walk

Go take a walk, breathe in the country air,
don't worry about the wars or the politics
get away from other people, leave the curled
fists of stress behind. Pick a wildflower
as it perches in a nestle of leaves.

Lay on your back and look up into the sky
forming elephants, ice cream cones, flowers
in the clouds as they wander by. Make a wish
on the back of a dandelion as it floats away,
watching it as it tastes the sweet nectar of freedom
in the air. Splash in the river water as you dip
a toe into the chilly rapids.

Go take a walk, breathe in the country air.
