Walking Out

Walking Out

You left 

Walked out

And now here we are

Father and son

Estranged

Trying to find a way

Through this frozen wilderness

Each in our own way

You were taught to be a hunter

But not a killer

To take only 

What can be carried out

It is a cumbersome burden

One you have learned too well

And I too little

Like the young bear

With hurt pa(w)

Maimed but able

Walking out

You taught me 

How to survive on my own

You left me

But I will not leave you behind

Even in death

I carry you with me

Inspired by the movie Walking Out.  This is a movie that made me think.  That stayed with me for quite some time after it ended.   It is a book lovers kind of movie.
