I walk the walk
I need nothing else
I've made friends with the shadow
we're buddies, he and I
we bare ourselves
to the cold wind
the one they sing about
Mariah
the days are long
nights they stretch out
still . . .
I walk the walk
it's all about the walk
and friendly shadows

To walk the walk is much more honest than talking the talk...I like the honesty in this poem, my friend...*BIG HUGS*

You show a profound awareness in this write, Jerry. To walk the walk in full awareness of all the challenges is our privilege.

Beautiful.

Friendly shadows sure as heck beat the twisted, heinous ones don't they? I know your dog walks that walk with you too. You're a lucky man, Jer.
