Footprints In Time

Walking on white Powder soft sand My footprints Left impressions, Little signs Indicating my presence In the recent past. As I returned later, I paused And struggled to find Signs of any footprints As the incoming waves Advanced, Slowly, but surely Erasing the memory Of my presence… Walking through life What impressions do I leave? What memories Shall last longest? Time moves on Progressing inevitably Towards that day when, My last footprint Shall disappear Only for other footprints To take my place.
