Walking with you

Tonight as I walk

Past the moon in the dark, I realise I’m walking with you.

With millions of long walking women

With silvery, moon walking women

With willowy lake walking women

With you.

I know as I lose all sight of myself And I smile and I spy on the world,

I am safe in the steps of my infinite walk

As the long line of women unfurls.

I shudder in mists and in dusks at the lake but I’m strong in this line with you,

I wait and I watch and I wish in the dark

But I’m sure that I feel all of you.

As we walk on our own, in our boots and spare time, in our feet and our moods and our need

Remember the line

And how far it winds

Walk in strength

Past the moon

Walk as we.

I thank you for walking with me.
