Heading out with the dogs
for an afternoon walk,
my mind is heavy
with “to dos”,
worries, ideas.
But,
after a block
I notice a young cherry tree,
perfect pink blossoms,
flowering at eye level.
On the corner,
my pups meet a friend,
and my mouth
lifts in a smile.
Next, a tender breeze
sweeps a few items
off the list in my head.
The late day sun
slows my pace
and warms my cheeks.
As I turn up my walk,
I feel restored.
Nothing like a walk to clear the mind of those heavy to-dos. Your poetry is as delightful as your walk!
