Traces

A poet's journey
Is both inward and outward.
The poems he records
Along the way
Are the traces he leaves behind,
The tracks he lays down,
For him to see where he's been
And for others to follow.

Love this beautifully written, so poetic, poem Jim. ‘ Are the traces he leaves behind’ ‘ The tracks he lays down’ Such reflective thoughts and spoken from a true poet’s heart. So impressed that it’s going into my fav’s so I can read it often especially when I struggling with my own musings. Thank you! Blessings to you.
