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!
As a child, I viewed the poles
(and books often illustrated them as such)
as actual poles sticking up from the snow,
being the visible ends of the physical axis
around which our blue-green globe turned.
And now, from the height of our scientific
explanations, considerations and reason,
that’s a picture as good as any.
