Don't get me started on the difference between the lyricism of Ryan Tedder and that of Dan Reynolds Dan is a poet; I can point out at least one of ID's songs that has a perfectly symmetrical syllable count. Ryan leaves more up to the skill of his voice...
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!
Understanding knows of what you speak
lives in the places that we seek
thrives on learning all that’s real
pays the bill while others steal
Stoops to take the path most humble
treads with grace and doesn’t stumble
smiles so sadly at man’s errors
blunts the teeth of the worst of terrors.
