Clouds hang low on stained
footpaths slick with moss clinging
as vines of green. He
waits in rain for a quiet
rendezvous, hardly breathing.
Surrendering frost
Frees spring from the ice
Daybreak sees what shadows lost
Flower-colored footpaths
Crystal thawing birdbaths
Winter's sacrifice

darting
through footpaths
poignant memoirs yearn
for unspent revelries
where life's seasons fall in haste
" precious moments ripped by time's hands"
with dusk approaching
the radiance of the day
melts in the rain
streetlights smear
the autumn colours
across the footpaths
doubling the display
of chromatic foliage
autumn gloats

Fern and bluebell thrive
Dense trees forging green shelter
Footpaths meander.
Mystery at every turn
Gnarled roots display nature's art.
Forest canopy
Dappled sunlight and shadow
Rustling undergrowth
Spring is stirring steadily
Epiphany of nature.
A time ago I walked the long road
Lost any memories of stories told
Fog so thick I could not be found
Landmarks foreignly placed around
A cold wind carried an empty song
Resonating like some echoing gong
Raining can carry everything away
Submerging footpaths of yesterday
Never look forward while looking backward
Ensure that your path is without obstacles
While you ponder going towards the future
Yesterdays will soon be a distant memory
Even hurtful memories will be with us today
Accept these as a learning tool to live by
Resolutions are our tomorrow footpaths
Listen to poem:
Gathering wild strawberries
And meadow flowers
Exploring footpaths
Running along streams
And climbing trees
Chasing butterflies
Spotting nests
Petting furry caterpillars
And cuddling kitty cats
Life explodes with wonder
Meandering backroads of my mind
Unadulterated freedom of adventure
Nature the way a child remembers

Busy feet meet
On Monday streets;
No time to greet
~~~~~~~~~
Crowded avenues
Distant faces;
Private To-Do lists
~~~~~~~~~
Wet dawn
Overnight rain;
Messy footpaths
~~~~~~~~~
Blank faces
Anxious distractions;
Too much data
~~~~~~~~~
TV dramedy
Laughter riots;
Good medicine here

Scars upon the heart grow deeper
With every loved one taken from me
So lonely as the weary weeper
I have learned acceptance frees me
to make my peace with destiny
Some tears will wash away the pain
along the footpaths I have climbed
I will persevere and then regain
a willingness to re-design
my attitude, and cherish time

At the footbridge I saw a chicken,
trying to keep its balance
as it flapped its wings. It felt dizzy
when it saw the abyss below it,
which swallowed time and matter.
Surprisingly the chicken kept on
with the journey, claw after claw. It
wasn't chicken-hearted like most
chickens. It was ready to walk
on wooden footpaths which cracked
in every step,
until it reached the other end.
It had crossed the road;
now it was crossing a footbridge....

The old man is searching
for forgiveness of his soul
Deserted by his family
and left out in the cold
Finds himself upon the footpaths
raids the "wheelies" for a feed
Society lacks compassion
not much help for those in need
This man like many others
residing on the street
Dressed in rags and tatters
wraps newspapers around his feet
Some nights he's feeling lucky
finds a vacant bench to sleep
A harsh unforgiving society
what we sow is what we reap

He came up from the main road
While ahead watching numerous footpaths in the field,
Crisscrossed as a web.
He paced up and down in the web
And his thickly dotted footprints
Filled up the grid meshes
One by one.
Hardly can he
Walked through the web
And still paced up and down.
watching the years gone like river water
He has already had scales on his body
While his hands and feet retrograded into fins
And downstream
With which he struck violently and
Lost
