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!
Far from the chattering and oblivious crowd
furled in the hand of deepest silence
found my relief from the daily incessant round
following the trail of my earnest desires
full contentment I grasp as I breathe the air
fast my comforting ease in solitude
fierce my passion for the quiet and serene
famous the balm of rest from the hubbub.
