I am going outside

I am going outside

before the sun sets

and the last rays of daylight

still light the path,

I am going outside

for a walk in the park

while young boys still play

on the basketball court,

I am seeking the beauty

of a few Fall trees,

of a cooler time before the night falls,

I will walk a mile

and then return

to the light of my home

safe from the world.
