Faded Footprint

I am a faded footprint
dwelling in the abyss
of a long-forgotten masterpiece.

Sing me a lullaby
to wake me from slumber;
Lead me to the path 
where only people in love go;
And I will waltz with you
Beneath the blue star.

Paint me an art of the unknown 
of cosmic radiant hues,
And I will hang 
a rainbow on your neck.

Write me a mystic poem 
from your silent diary~
And I will transform,
from a faded footprint
to vibrant footprints
following yours.
