Toe so sore

Walking can be healing for the mind, but sometimes hard on the body. The sore foot in this poem is an expression of emotional as well as physical pain.

Toe so sore,

Foot pained,

I walked so far

But I have gained.

Toe so sore,

Foot blistered,

I walked all week

Thoughts unraveled, untwisted.

Toe so sore,

Foot throbbing,

I walked for miles

‘Til tears became such sobbing.

Toe so sore,

Foot peeling,

I walked along,

For healing.

Toe so sore,

Foot burning,

I walked.

And now I’m turning.
