NONE LEAVE FOOTPRINTS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pathways formed on surging swells

Journeys over billowing whitecap daffodils

 

Caravans with alabaster tapestries

Rites of passaging for the bourgeoisie

 

Tides and currents’ heaving breasts

Questing in nymph and siren-seeded crests

 

Sail on, sailor, and wander ‘cross the deep

Endless your song and everlasting your sleep

 

Migrating ventures for paupers and kings

In brine and breakers resplendent wanderings

 

A titan’s echoed haunting screams

Oceaning ripples of the odyssey’s dreams

 

None leave footprints on the waves

And no stones just foam to mark the graves…

 

Reviews

[Angel Bird]

Deeply touching for so true. You dipped those sad lines into beauty and you have given your words a special elegance and images.

Wondrous write.

[deeps]

This is quite the powerful write really. But so well written.
Such poetic words and amazing flow. I like your last stanza the best.
wonderful write Craig!
