The Footprints of Time

Moonlit shadows dance
in the deepening twilight
to a soft Autumn breeze.
The years of this life
are the evening mist.
A loon cries somewhere
in the wilderness
to the rising moon
and all things passing
into the infinite void.
In ten thousand tomorrows
I could not forget her smile;
but the world, love, and
she have moved on,
leaving me behind
where I travel alone
in the footprints of time.

I so appreciate and love the atmospheres you create with words, dear Bruce!

Perfect melancholy wrapped in beauty!

Great poem. Memories, both good and bad haunt us.
