Does A Footstep Linger?
Posted on Friday, November 14th, 2008
Early one morning I passed a sand dune upon which I walked three days earlier. There across it were my footsteps though heavy rains fell in the intervening days. And so the inspiration for this poem.
Does A Footstep Linger?
Does a footstep linger
Into the present?
What about a letter—
Its ink now faded,
A memory suffered,
Embrace recalled?
Right now these granules
Of time form presence
With each footstep reached,
Thought endeared,
Memory created,
Embrace encountered.
It’s timelessness you see,
A mystery weaving vibrancy
In steps that do linger,
Letters expressing truth,
Thoughts for plunging deep,
And yes – embraces that confirm.
