Life just takes me
In it’s own time and speed
Into uncharted waters on the bareback of steed
And I fight against the currents, taken deeper in each wave
Leaving teardrops in my footprints for a dream I cannot save

Pulling harder
Life just takes me
Far from shore and undefined
Somehow deafened in the pounding as the hope I had resigned
And I struggle to move closer to the warmth of used to be
Leaving teardrops in my footprints for a dream I cannot see

Unrelenting
Pulling harder
Life just takes me forward still
To a strange place called without you, keeping me against my will
To a new time and a new face that I shy away and fight
Leaving teardrops in my footprints for a dream with all my might

In a whirlpool life just takes me
Making silent every hope
Pulling from me what so clearly both my lifeline and my rope
And I must go said so fairly to the spirit in the glass
Leaving teardrops in my footprints as the time of dreams must pass

This poem almost brought me to tears, made
me a tad misty eyed...Sheesh, written with
such emotion...

teardrops sink in the footprints
old dreams buried in the sands
freedom is ringing

this was absolutely magnificent, the sound somewhat sad and I liked the way you portrayed time taking you forward, even though you didn't want to go...this was mystical....enjoyed.
