The Beaten Tracks

Today I walked the old and beaten tracks
Than run through my town.
Once they were used by horses and traps
And still they can be found.

To be out in fresh weather,
Walking,
You can appreciate tbe view
In a way that in a car
You are unable to do.

Aftsr a time my feet begin to ache
As like to pain old travellers
Might have felt
Walking in the open air:
Nature's indifferent to your wealth.

When eventually I am back home
I appreciate my creature comforts.
Out now from tne cold and wind:
I've warmth and towels and blankets.

I feel calm.
