Notes About The Poem

- Eternal Footprints -

Thoughts that lead us into poetry
                         an appetite for a life out of the ordinary
                                        Quiet when needed
                           The will to be playful and imaginative
                                       Sometime humorous,
                        so that the shadow of death will not seize us

                                      The latitudes of longing
                             words that evoke emotion and mood
                                     where poetry never dies
                                     and fire does not gos out
                              even if doors and gates are closed

                                  It's alike finding the right tone
                              to breathe and blow well, find beauty
                                             and deep tones

                                              Ask the wind
                                         It can be a challenge
                                  when it blows outside and inside
                                             at the same time

                                                 Paper dies
                                                  ink fades
                                              but poetry lives
                                               When the sun
                                       slowly drowning in the sea
