Footprints of Life



A walk in the beach
Through the wet land
eying oceans beyond reach
leaving footprints left in sand

Each step an imprint
Of what has been touched
As I walk or in a sprint
some deep and some not so much

A map of the past
of where I have been
Where memories last
of who, where, and when

But in the sunset
At the end of my day
When the final tide rolls in
All my footprints wash away

That is a GOOD ONE!

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Recently my reflections have marvelled at similar while on early morning walks along the local beach with its fine, black sand and high cliffs which stretch for miles. I really enjoyed your poem.

Thank you all.

The poem may have come across a little more negative than I wanted.

It's more a warning about my life lived beyond horizons...when everything we are, or can be, is right under our feet. It only becomes too late when it is too late.

Yes...
People think love is a feeling. It's something you can find...and when you find it you can then give it. As I have moved through life and it's ups and downs and viewed people who don't have clue about love and never will.. I have discovered love is not a feeling or a thing.. It's simply a state of mind.
Make your own Party!
