Written by Graeme Cox
Off to a thin place, to clear my head
To feel earth beneath my feet
To refill and bolster my starving soul
To find my daily bread
A good walk tells a story
It intertwines with that of your own
It can be mundane or otherworldly
It can lead to adventure, it can lead you home
I'll seek a feeling that no musing gives
And a truth I can't find in a book
Find freedom in wild places, beyond thoughts and dreams
Where all can be said with a look
In a place where time can feel absent
Yet a moment can feel so long
My old boots will carry me lightly
On the wings of a familiar song
The tangible spirit of a landscape
Elemental commune, in nature's embrace
Veil lifted, accept the welcome.
In my own space and at my own pace
Beauty around awakes beauty within
Reacquaint with things we once knew
Catharsis connects my thoughts, though they whisper
To this thin place. I'm feeling in tune
I'll return to my life, ready to live
Emotions more balanced and true
Nirvana may still be a distance away
My thin place carries me through.
