I Walk The Line

I walk the line

Between the river and the road

The river whispers to slow down

To breathe in the beauty

And see myself reflected

The road is too busy to notice

Too focused on the destination

And how to get there sooner

 

I walk the line

Between the head and the heart

The head is quick with answers

With boxes to put things in

And labels to explain

The heart is full of questions

With doors of doubt to unlock

And windows of love to open

 

I walk the line

Between the mountain and the sea

The mountain beckons to climb

To reach for the distant summit

And enjoy the view from the top

The sea urges to cast adrift

To go with the invisible flow

And be content in the moment

 

I walk the line

Between the body and the soul

The body craves for attention

For pandering to appetites

And obeying the senses

The soul yearns for meaning

For something to believe in

And a destiny to follow

 

I walk the line

Between the day and the night

The day is a call to action

To building stone by stone

And making my mark

The night is for seeding

For germinating in the dark

And nurturing my dreams

 

I walk the line

Between living and dying

Living is finding new connections

New ways of seeing the world

And adding something new

Dying is learning to let go

To appreciate more with less

And finding a place to rest
