i walked a path

a trail on a fort

a thing that pertains to a path is sublime
probably it's the world's favorite metaphor
refer to it as a road, a trail, or a line
life is such a journey, requiring some valor

i walked on a paved sidewalk
i walked on a pebbled trail
i walked on a muddy riverbank
just to follow the ocean's tail

i walked on the shoulders of the giants
i walked on the sequence of thoughts of mankind
i walked as fast as the speed of light
just to trace the footsteps of a brilliant mind

i walked on the depth of the colors
i walked emulating the brushstroke streaks
i walked in the midst of the undertones
just to reflect on what the artist seeks

i walked on the lines of the grand staff
i walked through the tune of a plucked string
i walked side by side with the stream of notes
just to find a good song to sing

i walked hearing the sound of laughter
i walked together as not to fall apart
i walked with known and unknown people along the way
just to be in sync with the beat of my heart
  
i walked, you walked, we walked
walked together amidst the shifting sand
somewhere, sometime, our paths cross, our paths diverge
despite these, it's possible to walk together hand in hand
