The pavement is a ledger of the known,
where heels strike rhythmic, heavy, and exact.
To walk is to endure the weight of bone,
the steady maintenance of simple fact.
To run is but to hurry through the same—
a faster friction on the same dull floor,
the body's heat, the muscles' straining claim
that forward is the only open door.
But thinking is the ground beneath the feet,
the quiet logic of the step and breath,
the corridor where mind and matter meet
to negotiate a truce with time and death.
And yet, there is a sudden, weightless grace
when logic thins and boundaries fall away—
when focus leaves the measurements of space
and rises like a hawk above the gray.
To fly is not to leave the truth behind,
but to perceive the map from edge to edge.
It is the sudden soaring of the mind
above the fence, the mirror, and the ledge.
If walking is the labor of the here,
then flight is how the spirit claims the sky—
to see the path, yet vanish into clear,
and leave the heavy math of earth to lie.
