When walking over Muddy fields
by Majikle
Start slow,
Keep your eyes on the baby steps low
Do not look too far ahead
instead, plod on
Know you will get there
Find stones and tree roots to press
your careful feet into
Follow the dogs for high ground, not pigs
they look for hollows to wallow in
Scan the sides for elevations
however small
And don’t take the bramble’s jokes
personally at all
When climbing up a muddy bank
follow the footprints you know
Steady as you
ninja go.

a sharply described country walk that takes me on other journeys….. political, of the heart….clever writing, thanks
Lovely walking rhythm! Takes me outside..
You have put me in mind of a walk I used to do as a child and given me some good life advice. Cleverly done. x
