Walk

You cant just go
We are still talking
Thud the door banged 
She stormed out walking away

Can I walk in her shoes
Can we walk in someone's shoes?
Do we understand What's it to be them?
The path is similar but shoes are different

The guide said its just a little hike
A casual walk you can do it
The group was enthused 
Determined to make it to the top 

Dressed in layers 
Breeze suddenly can change later
They had trekking poles for supports
Ponchos if the rain reports 

They set out 
Talking and laughing
Walking and walking 
Are we there yet? One asked?

One sped up probably he likes to be first
Other slowed down his health isnt that fit
One paused now and then to enjoy the Journey
Other completely lost while foot just walked 

The distance slowly and steadily grew apart
Each one walking in their pace 
One by one they have all gone ahead
One can hear only their own foot steps 

The Companions all gone 
Solitude comes drawn
The noisy Birds, streams flow 
Sound of Silence is imbibed 

Reaching the summit now seems foolish
The walk turned race felt prudish
Nearing summit, noises grew 
Missing the solitude that withdrew

I walk past banging the door
Feeling numb at the treshold 
Dont judge my path 
You can't walk in my shoes...
My soul craves preserves Solitude
