Footprints

FOOTPRINTS

Footprints are walked memories; 
molded cerebral impressions
of traced tracks—telling 
tinted stories of freedom’s journeys;
like running rivers between banks
leaving trailing residues of liberation.

Remembered footprints
tell tall towering tales
of those who’ve passed this way.

May the Most High 
let mine tell tall tales
 of the jubilee journey jogged
as I passed this way.

And may my marvelous ones walk
proudly in the depths of my footprints.
