Let’s Walk Up the Hill

Let’s walk up the hill
Let’s go see some life
Go witness some love
Some labor, some strife

Let’s walk by the water
Let the sea air
Blow all the cobwebs
Out of our hair

Let’s walk in the meadow
Let it remind us
How to leave dumb
Complications behind us

Let’s walk in the forest
Primevally old
Reorient selves
In the timeless untold

Let’s go walk in the world
Gather up what we see
Then bring it all back
Write it in poetry
