Walking

Walking...

In the city...in the country
we all walk through the world

Temptations haunt us, people daunt us
but our walk continues

People, places attitudes and actions
walk through life...head up, shoulders squared
jaw set...walking

Feeling pressure, receiving platitudes
why do I feel so unprepared, is the walk
worth it, can I make it, where can I turn,
who can I trust

The walk continues, highways, byways, towns, cities...
we walk, constantly move...in motion...perpetual motion

Head Spinning, mind reeling, looking for peace...
peace that comes from not conforming to worldly
patterns...just walking...

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
1st Corinthians 10:13
