had me walking thoughtful -
each of these steps,
the realm in which they fall,
the course where I am led -
a wholly different world
from what I thought,
but which has been here all along,
and I've been walking in it
though I didn't know
What changes with this shift?
It is a new land, or more,
it is remembering -
it's how my feet proclaim
this is their always home -
they find the balance
comforting, empowering,
something the world could never
make them forget how to do.
