A Walk Poem by Fernando Lachica

I went for a walk
just to be with myself
and the nature's calling
for my spirit to relive.

I went for a walk
amidst beautiful sky
amidst beautiful trees with hues of gold
blinding yellows laced with orange and reds
fall flowers scent the air.

I walk softly, slowly, with nothing on my mind
this walk was for my soul.

Butterflies floating around
setting the tone
for a lighthearted glow
to enter my heart
a true thing of beauty.

A glimmer turns my awareness
and point me
in a direction to notice the things
that are usually obscured
from the motion of my mind.
The motion of the day
that shades my heart
and dulls my soul
Truly, I felt my soul.

With a half smile
the one that is present
without trying
that easy soft one
from the spirit
that causes the heart to glow
and is attractive to others.

I breathe deeply
asking for God's direction.
I feel and see what is there.
I am filled with all things.
I am graced with all these creations.


Playing off each other
in perfect harmony.
I walk...softly...slowly...

To my destiny.
