Musings of a Wordsmith - 6. Footprints

Looking back to keep going forward.

Footprints lonely in the tracks,
footprints together in the woods;
footprints erasing one another,
footprints, though on the ground
helping each other
to go forth in life.

Footprints of endless straight ways,
footprints of loves fought and felt;
footprints of growing together hand in hand,
footprints of differences
so beautiful,
so intense.

Footprints of love turned to pain,
footprints awakening in light, in a song,
footprints reminding you are on your way;
footprints which simply tell you
you are alive
and still learning.

Your poem prompted me to think of footprints and what they tell me, and what my own reveal about myself. Thank you.

Thanks for reading, Parker, that is also the image that inspired this poem.

My own thoughts were drawn to seeing the footprints, and feeling the reasoning of another poem.

But it's the similarity of emotions that is really the same. Beautifully done

Petrarca… Italian Renaissance was definitely more open than religion and society let on. Feel honored that my “footprints” take you back to such a huge poet, @AC Benus

Gary, that you think so high of my writing, being the author I’ve come to love and cherish… no words for that, really, no words (my friends here would be laughing their backsides off at me not finding g words 😝). Thank you
