I used to be a runner but I have changed gears and actually walk an hour to an hour a half a day. No music needed on those walks. The visuals are my symphony and the energy captures the good, upbeat feelings I focused on in the write. Thanks @keithcuts for hosting and for the inspiration with the theme. Came into this late from walking outside! Started at 3:45 pm ET. So here it is.
I Walk
Energy is me
Gotta move
Gotta be
Free
And fit
Cause I just can't sit
I walk a lot
I talk a lot
I walk a lot again
Releasing all the stresses
Then meditate on Zen
My heart's beating fast
On the move
Have a blast
Sights
Ignite
My feet feeling light
I walk a lot
I talk a lot
I walk a lot again
Releasing all the stresses
Then meditate on Zen
I live to walk
And like the hawk
Who glides across the sky
I'm at home when I walk
My feet are never shy
I walk a lot
I talk a lot
I walk a lot again
Releasing all the stresses
Then meditate on Zen

These lyrics are a tricky read because the song could work musically at almost any tempo. I try to take it in at a relaxing pace and then it does have that Zen quality.
@vainhirvain Feb 2022
The lyrics actually carry the rhythm of walking in a brisk and sporty manner. I like the way you are focusing on walking itself, not on where to go and what to see there. Which is per se a kind of zen-like approach to the activity I guess.

A good look at something you like a lot. Good introspective lyric.

i too am an earbudless walker. :)
my fav lines on this lovely write are:
I live to walk
And like the hawk
Who glides across the sky
I'm at home when I walk
My feet are never shy
-i absolutely adore the idea of extroverted feet!

Cool lyric - got great rhythm to it. Very nice skirmishing!
@porrectus Feb 2022
That lyric had some great rhythm to them. The words almost seam earthy, like the ground you walk on. Nice work, great skirmish.

I could feel the pace as I read it, quickening for the fabulous choruses and slowing down again for the last line of each chorus. Nice one! I hope to hear it set to music.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Such a positive attitude to walking, appreciating everything that passes and even the process. Sounds so peaceful and relaxing :)

All through lockdown I walked at least an hour maybe more. And then I started running - just enough to have a habit. This is relatable to me

Seems like you came in at exactly the right time to exactly the right prompt. One can almost hear the accelerated heartbeat in the lyrics. Cool chorus. Also makes me feel a little guilty for not having left the house all day.
