Footprints in yesterday, today!!

Under the sun

A memory

My footprints

In the sand.

Crashing waves;

A seashore song

Applaud me

Walking by.

I glance behind

My footprints

Merge as one

Awash! Swept away!

Waves laughing.

The memory of 

My footprints

Now yesterday...

In today.

It is all coming out now! So you ARE a beach bum after all?
Nice portrayal of that wonderful sensation of walking barefoot in the shallows.

Is that a 'Ripper tide' Lol?

This is a washout. Really. I've done this thousands of times and it's just like it never even happened. But, those laughing waves - they never go away - they just keep coming.

[andrew mitchell]

A washout!does that mean you didn't like this lol

[Vishuddha]

Not at all. I love the poem. It's the sea washing out all the footprints. The sea doesn't like us. Well, maybe it just doesn't like footprints.

Hi Andrew. You got me at the footprints in the sand!!!!! That is the most inspirational, romantic, dream weaving, soul cleansing experience in the world!!! I can spend hours!!!! walking at waters edge , creating footprints and watching them wash away!!! I therefore, have fallen in love with this poem and it sweeps to clear first place in my favourites!!!! alf

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you alf for a great review and how often we see footprints only to see them washed away!

[andrew mitchell]

wow wow first place;):):) how something so insignificant can touch another's heart

[alf]

Yeah, but for me, one of the most wondrous events I have ever seen!!! Fascinates me!!! Small minds????

[andrew mitchell]
