Walking Through the Seasons

Walking through the seasons
One step at a time

The earth responds
With color and design

Carpets of leaves muffle the steps
While rain gives nature a seasonal rest

Walking in nature for physical fitness
Gets better with a friend as a seasonal witness

A friend who coordinates in the rhythm of walking
Repackaging ideas in our lively talking

Adds meaning as our eyes take in
The barren landscape so abundant last spring

The promise of seasons when walking alone
Is better when shared with a friend as we roam
