Walking

Walking walking my feet do pound
Upon the wet and soggy ground
Walking walking on and on
Always heading toward the dawn

Walking walking walking still
I tire of dragging my weary will
Yet walking walking on I walk
I fear I’ll go till my feet fall off

Walking walking along the beach
The coarse sand a painful belief
Walking walking on bleeding feet
Dragging on with no relief

Walking walking until the end
Seeking relief from this land
Walking walking on tips of toes
Until I shall fall and bang my nose

Walking walking with no relief
Still on the toes of my feet
Walking walking for an age
Trailing refuse in my wake

Walking walking except I’m done
I’ve finally reached the rising sun
Walking walking no more again
Cleansed at last my weary end
