One step in front of the other
The road moves beneath the feet
Indifferent, completely to the faith
Or lack off, we may choose to have
Each step painful, joyous or foolish
Regardless they are taken, & god
Is carried, or not, dropped or not
Some good done perhaps, walk on
Some bad as well, another step
A child had, or many, or none
Step gently or scratch your name
Keep a record, or don’t, regardless
Walk on, walk on.
Walk On
This is inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s The Road a marvelous book that is strangely uplifting against the bleakness. In all our lives there is this bleakness but we do continue. And I am not sure the universe or the divine cares much for the faith and so much else we concern ourselves with. We are just passing through, now. Relax even in the knowledge of the sorrow, joy, passing.
