What marks to leave behind will say you've journeyed past this place ?
What crumbs when read will guide your thoughts should you need to return ?
Will they be-speak of wonder found once more when you retrace ,
or only dimly glow where once the light of promise burned ?

And those who follow on this path will they share your delight ,
or soon dismiss this wand'ring trial for lack of common ground ?
Will that which you have penned retain some measure of insight ,
or leave you groping blindly for what you'd percieved as found ?

Once did rush to find completion at end of ev'ry task .
Now seems there's more to bargain with of questions left un-asked .

Stop and smell the roses while you can remember why.

It is every writer's desire, to leave these illuminating crumbs. Seems to me, you're doing fine. (o: I enjoyed this very much, Doc. Thanks for it.

This is wonderful...indeed what is the legacy of our words? Yikes!!! I'd better not think about that one too hard!
