Notes About The Poem

Fateful Footsteps

From out of the past, they pursue me-
I, his heart's nominee!
I hear footsteps in the hall-
I fear that I'm about to fall.

The face of love is in my mind;
His footsteps are not far behind.
Irrepressible one, come, come.
What corner of dreams are you from?

I hear footsteps on the stair,
And yes, my heart is aware.
I hear the love songs in the night...
I feel that I am in his sight.

I hear footsteps closer still...
Inside myself I feel the thrill!
Softly does destiny arrive.
Tenderly dreams come alive.

I hear the knock upon the door-
A shadow falls upon the floor!
And slowly I lift my eyes-
And my being intensifies!

Gershon Wolf February 2, 2020 at 1:40 PM So very interesting a poem for this reader: Too many years ago, my football coach used to get after me: 'Wolf, you were hearing footsteps." I t meant that I dropped a pass, because I heard a linebacker or a defensive back coming at me from behind. As well, I used to teach "Tale of Two Cities" to high school boys, and there was a chilling chapter titled -- you guessed it -- 'Footsteps.'... So, it's nice to hear positive footsteps for a change. Thanks, Judy!! :) Gershon Evelyn Judy Buehler February 2, 2020 at 6:14 PM How interesting! Well, I was happy to provide those positive footsteps-the footsteps of love. Thank you for your, as usual, inspiring comment. Oh, and you're welcome! :) Evelyn
