Barefoot I walk onto the path 
I don’t know where it leads
I’m propelled, compelled forward 
By the sensation in my feet

Onwards they take me further and further 
There’s an airiness in my heart 
I step lightly, sprightly forward 
Along that glittering path 

I look around me as I walk on 
Nature is everywhere 
A butterfly flits close to my toes 
I want to stop right there 

But onwards I walk, I skip, I leap 
My feet have a mind of their own 
They’re taking me down the scenic route 
So on and on I roam 

My face now wears a little smile 
My atoms are swaying too 
And my feet they keep the rhythm
Glide one-two, one-two.  

A melancholy melody almost a moan 
Comes wafting in on the breeze 
I close my eyes, feel its ebb and rise 
As I stroll in the bower of trees 

There’s something else that I can feel
Hiding in the shrubs nearby 
Heavy, leaden, bruised and raw
It’s getting closer all the time 

As I walk with eyes closed my eyelids fly open 
Everywhere is shadowy grey
For a little while there in my sleep 
My aching feet had swept me away.
