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!
Now the snows of eternal winter
settle on my raised face in the sodden clouds
and the brittle shells of my birth
are but myriad memories of the silent deep
lifted now through millennial torture
locked in the grip of relentless earth
folded and pressed in stony dance
to mountain heights and alpine field.
