    Footprints in Time

    Walking on white

     Powder soft sand

    My footprints

    Left impressions,

    Little signs

     Indicating my presence

    In the recent past.

     

    As I returned later,

    I paused

     And struggled to find

    Signs of any footprints

    As the incoming waves

    Advanced,

    Slowly, but surely

    Erasing the memory

    Of my presence…

     

     

    Walking through life

    What impressions do I leave?

    What memories

    Shall last longest?

    Time moves on

    Progressing inevitably

    Towards that day when,

     My last footprint

    Shall disappear

    Only for more footprints

    To take my place.

    A very well written piece, quite philosophical in nature. This reflects the theme from the title to the last sentence with it's smooth flow and wonderful images.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
