Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
Horatio, this gloomy night inspires
mind’s eye beyond the times so dark we fall
upon this blasted heath morbid and dire
and so to snag our haste in fear and pall?
But soft, what radiance doth break upon
this clime of black and evil thought in mind?
The lightning bolt of jagged light like sun
so brings the dawn of waking eye so kind.
