Ode to Walking with Closed Eyes

Freeness, lightness, something extraordinary Unsure, wobbly footsteps across pavement Pressure pushing you on Convincing Stopping on the edge of the field of knowing what's going to happen next Defying sense Thrusting firmly into nature Against the human machine Nurturing the idea Of pushing your spiritual limits Bird-like, Swimming, Catching yourself right before You fall off the sidewalk Blind, But with a greater sensation The dark provokes not fright But evaluated wonder Fooling the gravity Of yourself And where your steps land, You walk with your eyes closed 16 April
