Footsteps in the Sand...

Footsteps in the Sand...

A Poem by Sugar and Spice

Footsteps in the sand,

One step forward,

One step back…

Tide comes in,

Washing away all of the tracks...

No footsteps left,

No turning back...


Footsteps in the sand,

One step forward,

No turning back...

In comes the tide,

Washing it all away,

No footsteps left...


You keep on walking,
Washing your past away...

One step forward,

Just another footstep in the sand…

There will probably be many interpretations for this certain poem. It really is a nice poem. I love the metaphor embedded onto here, you made an overused concept into something symbolic and meaningful. A tad bit sentimental.
The way I see it however, you may need to wash away your past if you want to really proceed on with the future. That doesn't mean completely abandoning your past either.
Anyways, wonderful write. Keep it up.

It still makes me stop and think, every time I see my footprints being washed away by the waves, in spite of age, some child-wonder remains with-in...The title called me because of this and I'm glad I answered the call. You've managed to capture a live moment of the present (time) in this..I can almost hear the waves.
