foot steps

foot steps

the sound of foot steps

walking into consciousness

kicking stones

in ordered gait

crunch is the sound

as the soul of my soles

steps upon scattered ideals

life in its truest form

is sparse at best

along the way

but did i notice

did i place my feet

with awareness

callousness cloaked

with errant cloth of reality

has captured my vision

and my dreaming

reaching

is finite

have i forgotten completely

to trust in the magic of “I”

we roll back the blinds

and sit in the pews

and are content

with the 5 letter “F” word

Faith

will it ever be enough

bring defined by the unseen

or do i long

for the sparkle

of midnight embraced stars

i call wonder

i wonder

is this the eternal destiny

to but listen

to the sound

of

footsteps ?
