#150 Walking Mile By Mile...

The boots rubbed the charcoal

as the winds kissed the jacket

I had to tighten the loose cap

to keep the hairs at bay..

The watch showed the sunset hour

both hands in the pocket

I started walking mile by mile

alongside the fleeting sunny rays..

The sky was playing colours

with the distant voices of birds and parrots

I had to look to my left

where the horizon was turning dark..

My feet started moving faster

as if they knew the length on the paper map

it was long and devoid of humans

just the tall body in the nature's lap...
