Footsteps: trampling across
the room;
echoing hollowly from bare walls
Measured, deliberate steps
pacing away, and away

An empty room: an empty room
that sits alone; brooding
replaying memories of a day
not long ago
when now dark corners were
filled with mementos,
memories of unfolding years
Preceding, and preceding.

Fading footsteps: Distant footsteps;
barely recognizable echoes
fading into silence,
leaving only traces on the floor
Dusty imprints left behind,
bestirred by gusts under the door:
Infant twisters
that obliterate the remains
of footsteps...

Now only memories prevail,
Locked away in silence.

No need a title, the words flow
in gentle grace.
Love,

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Morefiah, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I know this feeling but know some memories will be more than just footprints but grace in full form will mark the most enlightening moments of all! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Morefiah, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Morefiah...this is beautiful.  To tell you the symbolism it recalled would be to take a full page here and now and tell you all that you've brought back to me....

but I won't take this away from you...all I can do is offer my most humble thank you...for this wonderful reminisce...I am enjoying your poetry, more and more....

I wrote that poem some time ago. I am still agonizing over a suitable title but hopefully it will come. Thank you all for your appreciation and encouragement.
