I walked three miles today

I walked three miles today
And one was for health
In the early evening hours
we, she and I, walked through woods
Both of us carrying extra weight
But mine having no excuse.

I walked three miles today
And one was for friendship
As the sun set through the trees
and over the water
We shared laughs and tears
Setting in motion our continued bond.

I walked three miles today
And one was for lost love
In the dark
angry, bitter, hurting
but no tears came
Fast and furious towards no destination
Until at last a peace I could live with.

I walked three miles today
Hoping for some revelation
And finding what really matters
health,
friendship,
and love,
no matter what shape it takes form.
