title

walking wandering drifting
the dry whispering desert
windswept and desolate
the song of quiet renewal
unobserved bathed in defiance
a nomadic life of ease

no path or trail acknowledged
implied in its existence
the eagle crosses this way
the mouse scurries home
the snake smiles in heat

to the river for thirst
wet and cold full of life
the dust removed
from every pore
refreshed renewed
no cost for more

my forever sandals
without wear or tear
woven with love and care
his parting gift to me
