HE WALKED!
He walked…
through the green dripping morass of vegetation
He walked…
as though in a dream his eyes on the troop in front
He walked…
without knowing where they were going and caring less
He walked…
in that foreign land for reasons that were foreign to him
He walked…
as he was expected to, moving out, following orders
He walked…
without focus, for his mind was on his home and girl
He walked…
Smiling as a double digit igit with a single digit fidget
He walked…
not knowing this was the best, the highlight of his life
He walked…
toward a future where, at 60, he will remember being able to walk.
