Enough

-*-

A daily walk to keep me aligned,

immersed in music to block the noise;

clenching my life's book for its spine,

holding the fortress safe from accloys.

-*-

Mindfulness trips that no longer surprise,

aware of the arounds while engaged away;

why is that my soul,

(while is holding its cries),

pretends that those walks

are its personal dray?

-*-

A daily walk to stay down-to-earth,

immersed in reflections about my path;

balancing arrears with my heart's worth

hoping my soul doesn't take a bath.

-*-

Mindfulness trips that are needed so much,

solitude is, after all, sometimes tough;

no friends, no pets; not even an SO,

but there is always "me",

and me, for now,

should be enough.
