All things can make a footprint on us
Yet we can still lose the shoe
Knowledge leads the humble man
Riches lead the fool


Footprint

Walk on the same road
It was the same approach
But lonely footprint
There is only my feet printed
Memory of You is float.

Premium Member I was here

barefoot I left my mark
temporary as it was in the sand
the sun my solemn witness

Before the luxury of commodes
Worn footpath heading out to the outhouse.
B-line tracks in fresh snow.

After

in last song haven't your footprint
before never so
I expect that sometimes
surprise me
like I am in a pink dream

bring a coffee
after for everything

Along the Path

Using words to create feelings
  not feelings to create words

The letters but a footprint
  —along the path to being heard

Elliot

I leave no footprint
and cast no shadow
the water won't ripple
when I dive in-
but wherever I go, 
I feel it all
because all is within me,
as it always has been.

His Footprints Shall Stay

if God
dwells 
in
thy soul
then
let Him
turn your dust into gold
His footprint
shall not fade away
but
give honor and glory to God
faith
shall 
let His footprint stay

                                       incoming tide mystery -

Girth

Many moons have I seen since my birth, left a footprint or two on the earth. You can tell this is so from above and below if you look at my planet-like girth.

No Flying No Meat

Frequent flying will leave the Earth dead. Driving cars means disaster ahead. And we must give up meat or our maker we’ll meet. So it’s settled: we're staying in bed.

Premium Member The Sole of Your Feet

So small and loving 
As two little sparrows
Vulnerable and powerful 

The only footprint left on your path 
Everywhere you went 
On this earth 
You are 
There 
You have left 
The sole of your feet

boot sole caught in your fish net,
his footprint of abuse
standing upon your frame
of slight humanity,
   —now unreserved misery.
   drafted you, private Thumbelina,
   into his phantom corps 
   of sister shadows.

Keen To Be Green

Local authorities’ love recycling
It’s a green policy and its one that wins
They want to reduce the carbon footprint
Of the electorate, for their sins
But if they were truly serious
They’d stop making so many recycling bins

Rain

cold
droplets
softly fall
soaking summer's
parched thirsty earth

caressing carefully 
planted pots of pink posies

slowly seeping into dry soil
filling sloppy puddles with wet fun
and muddy footprint reminders of rain

Culpability

Lovers write loves name on friendly trees
Your name was everywhere
I even wrote it in the sand
The rock was too hard
I left it bare
I built too my castle there
Where now at your footprint I stand and stare
Longing to blame the waves

Footprint

What are you doing today
I haven't seeing you in a while
where are you leaving ur  footprints
which waters you dive
life can get so busy
trying to remain alive
trying to find a way to exist
without loosing our minds.

A Wandering Knight


A wandering knight
wambling in an endless road

Thinking to himself

Where the others are?
Taking care of what?

Who am I?
but a fading footprint

on a dark empty land
under a starless sky

seized by roaring shadows
and delusive hopes

Ode to my Students

Tiny hands
Pure hearts
Silly smiles
Footprint art
Cheerful shrieks
New found words
Belly laughs
Singing heard
As I open up the door
These are the sounds I hear
And everyday it gives me a reason
To have a smile stretching from ear to ear

show me a zero carbon footprint ~ and i'll point out its shoeless slave

but first we'll need a generator ~ to shed light on his pitch black cave

said an oil tycoon to the cobbler ~ who turns on the lathe for a shave

Premium Member Inky Way

The whole page was blank
     it looked lovely that way

    I had to go spoil it
     Painting an 'Inky Way'

    Cos' when it comes to pollution
      even poets fail

    My alarming 'carbon footprint'
      climbing higher than a whale's

Stomped by intruding and invasive breed, Foul footprint of this year is a misdeed - Two weighty boots with heavy tread Stirred quite a lot of dirt and dread. COVID and DONALD just will not concede! November 23, 2020
