Two Walks-One Day
David Ellis
What happens?
Two walks, one day…
What happens to 5 human senses?
What happens to muscles, nerves, bones?
What happens to the mind?
Two walks…one day…
What happens?
First walk before sunrise…
Semi-darkness, south breeze chilling the face.
Nothing moving but wind…no other sounds.
Peace and mystery combined with brilliant before sunrise
color show.
Feeling order, a sense of vast power,
with these there is comfort…a before sunrise guarantee.
A second walk later…facing a 30 mph south wind.
In sunshine and drifting snow.
My trail, snowshoe packed snow…
Decorated with a slim line of coyote tracks.
Two walks-one day.
