The Passing of a Footnote
THE PASSING OF A FOOTNOTE
without foresight
or future concern
we cast our stones
into the waters of uncertainty
the river holds us certainly
epic ignorance
existence in spite
maleficent macrocosm
the truth lets you know
it's ok to let go
ghosts of the past
a friend found at last
we succumb to fears
being lost in the years
the pages of time
we think we headline
the history book
selections children wrote
the passing of a footnote
is there lost consequence?
or does this all make sense?
