Best Footprint Poems

I did a show in this tiny town called Longyearbyen. We went snowmobiling around Svalbard and saw Arctic foxes, snow bunting, polar bear footprints and almost got lost in a blizzard.

Eden’s Footprint

Eden leaves a dainty footprint
In the soul of morning’s garden -
Pensive song whispers in wind chimes.

Eden leaves a dainty footprint -
Dreams of perfect mystery rhymes
Perfection’s haunting perfume lingers

Eden leaves a dainty footprint
In the soul of morning’s gardens.

Mum and dad were not happy  -
What was the reason for all this fuss?
I toddled off into the garden to see them
They were looking very curious

The evidence was plain for all to see
Just one solitary little footprint on the new concrete path
Mum asked was...

"That's one small step for a man.  One giant leap for mankind!"
Neil Armstrong's immortal words will e'er be etched in our mind!
With that he left a footprint for all eternity that time will ne'er erase,
On our neighbor The Moon in humankind's conquest of space!

some have talent for the world to revere
     for some, expression that no one will hear
many renowned for their intellect
     others, thought smart, slip through, I expect
remembered for deeds beneficial to all
     how...

Footprint Eraser

America had better get onboard with the Dutch.
Our most abundant exhaust is what will save us.
We produce this compound in metric tons of waste.
We could recycle it even before it gets to space.


We could send craft to grab it...

some leave
footprints
in sand
to wash
away
others leave
memories

City lights making it as bright as day,
City lights hiding all but the brightest stars,
Ugly stores crowding the streets, 
The ground paved with tar,
No birds can be heard singing above the noise of traffic,
Bigger,
Bigger we build,
Engineers and architects building,
Designing bigger,
Exhaust fumes make the air stink,
We...

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...

Shadow footprint of yesterday
When hand-in-hand along the shore
Betrayal waves washed all away
Grains of love lost forevermore

A crimson sunset disappears
Shadow footprint of yesterday
Misty eyes blink to hold back tears
Heart breakers never have a say

Temptress of life without grace
Harvest of hurt hid deep within
Shadow footprint of yesterday
This...

Footstep

Across the gray and stillborn face
 Earthlight beams in shafts of blue
To follow sunlight into plains
 And ancient valleys in hide and see
Played upon this place,
 A million years or more,
Then bends around horizon’s sloping line
 To reach into the golden dawn
It ever seeks just...

With words that we utter we wind through the day
Mortal matter we mutter as mind mules decay 
Exports of odd thoughts to extremes across seas 
The relief of belief spreading memes like disease 

By parchment, by paper or carved into stone 
By improbable chance or...
