the inevitable joy of taking a walk
by Quinn VokesWalking in the woods I hear
birds sweetly singing
the wind softly blowing
water magically flowing
Walking in the woods I smell
the fresh, clean air
filled with scents and
colors
Walking in the woods helps
me to be calm
be happy
and listen to God
He is speaking quietly in
the trees
the water
and through me 10/25/2002 Author's Note: ~I wrote this about a year ago, expressing my obvious feelings then. I look back on it now and feel nothing, b/c walking in the woods no longer has the same effect on me. I wish it did, but I guess I've changed(and it doesn't seem to be for the better).

| Posted by JD Clay on 11/13/02 at 04:11 PM This beautiful poem is a revelation. There is a wonderful lesson in your very words. Change is inevitable and the answers are not always clear. That however does not mean we should stop listening or walking. What is clear is why this piece was chosen for Poem Of The Day. Congratulations Quin, I hear you all the way.
Peace...
