A pair of sneakers, a quiet track, silence, and the space to breathe. What more could a momma ask for?
Freedom
rings here
upon the horseshoe path
sprinkled with pebbles and sand.
I hear its chime
loud and clear
while I walk
alone
and my shoulders slump
in relief.
I don’t linger long—
an hour, maybe
two—
but it is enough
to quiet my mind,
to breathe,
to reinvigorate me
back into my life
of details.
