    When I Go Walking

     

     

    When I Go Walking
    © 2012, by Marie Dezelic 

    Have you ever studied yourself? 
    Studied your physical human form 
    Examined your totally unique hands and feet, each line and distinctive marking 
    Every natural curvature to your body 
    The subtle etched indentations made on your visage by your oh so common facial expressions 
    The color of your eyes, the devilish twinkle or heart wrenching sadness 
    What you see of yourself with these colorful tunnels into the depths of your ocean 
    The feel of the soft hair on your head running through your fingertips 

    Have you ever studied yourself? 
    Studied your intellectually created persona 
    The all knowing of you 
    Thought about- I am… I come from… I am most similar to… I feel… I crave… 
    I was… I have accomplished… I will be… I will do… My character is… 
    I love… I hate… I have been hurt… I cherish… 
    Every idea, thought, image, feeling and notion you have of yourself 

    Have you ever studied yourself? 
    Studied how your sexuality has shaped you among your peers 
    What it means to you, your soft femininity 
    What it means to you, your strong masculinity 
    Which gender in you has engrossed your way of interacting in the outside world 
    Which gender is more in your disposition 
    Or are they in constant struggle against each other for expression 
    Are you in touch with each of the intricate nuances of your aggression and receptiveness 
    What sexuality and sensuality signify for you 
    What secrets you carry deep inside of you 
    How you like to be kissed and touched and caressed 

    Have you ever studied yourself? 
    Sat in one place, in one space, in one precise moment, and said to yourself- 
    I know who I am, in every way, from every angle and every view 
    From my exterior to my interior 
    From the muscular physical body to the sophisticated psyche that speaks of who I am 
    And then thought- 
    I am none of this 
    I am not who they all see, who they all know 
    I am not who I see, and who I know 
    When I remember this, for that very precious moment 
    I know that I have received the message 

    When I go walking… 
    I leave my body behind 
    I leave all my collected knowledge of myself, like a trail of tiny footprints 
    Fading in the sand, trying to keep up 
    But never quite close enough to catch my stride 
    I become free from all that is known of me 
    And all that I know of me 
    I become what I am… 
    Me 
    And then- 
    I can see the real you 
    Piercing right through the beating organs, multiple tissue layers and millions of microscopic cells 
    That are working so diligently to keep you alive 
    I see your color, I feel your tenderness 
    I say to you- 
    I know you, deep from within me 
    Yet, it’s nice to meet you anew, again and again 

    When I go walking… 
    I embrace you and the few others which I have chosen and who have chosen me 
    To attempt to journey the path together towards our intended meeting place 
    Sometimes carrying the weight of the human body 
    And sometimes walking as free and light as a weightless feather floating gently in the sky 

    When I go walking… 
    I feel freedom and peace 
    No care for anything, yet a care for everything 
    I run, dance, fly and sit 
    I thank you for accompanying me 
    And I cherish our sweet moments of infinite togetherness and connection 
    I treasure being in this altered state of existence with you, my friend 
    In a place that most do not go or do not dare to even know 

    When I go walking… 
    I never wonder, I never question 
    I never weep and I never fear 
    Simply, 
    When I go walking 
    I am me 
    And that is all I truly know and see

    Poetry Backgroud

    "Poetry is a healing art:  creative, artistic, passionate and soulful;

    a painting created with words, a novel created with feelings, an emotion created with spirit." (M. Dezelic)
