I walked through roads of emotions
crunching pieces of gravel
with Nike sneaker feet
not caring about small things,
but rather the bigger
like those beautiful trees
and the tears pour
until I'm a bear branch
without pretty leaf coverings
or my roughly grooved surface
capable of hiding secrets
confined like my sap.
I walked through roads of emotions
without a care about anyone
wondering where I've went
to be one with nature
when it's beauty is natural
and squawking birds is pleasant
amongst fields spreading their arms
for hugging me tightly as I
crumble inside, but my root
feet keep shoving me forward
while gentle wind caresses.
I walked through roads of emotions
alone as always, but colorful skies
smiled at me until my tears
made rainbows inside my chest
upon remembering fondly childhood
memories where nothing compares
to wondrous, freeing, liberating
recollections of climbing that
magnificent tree in my Grammy's yard
offering me a limb any time
I needed or wanted it
like a best friend
and I am that tree
moving forward fondly for
letting flowers blossom lusciously
upon the buds of my being.
I walked through roads of emotions
that got me discombobulated
and found myself literally lost
within an area of my home
where I normally don't explore
without the luxury of my car,
but I found my way through
my soiled thickets as I noticed fading
colors of the painted sky.
I walked through roads of emotions
one root in front of the other
until I found my way back home,
but emotionally I was not wiser
about what I set out for.
I walked through roads of emotions
only to be distressed
like deer seeking safety,
but I gained another perceptive
being a tree in a picture
of God's crafted nature.
