FOOTSTEPS
FOOTSTEPS, ALL THE COMINGS AND THE GOINGS
IMPRESSIONS IN THE DUST AND IN THE SAND
I AM A HARBOR, YOUR SHIP COMES IN
THEN SEEING YOU RETREAT INTO THE SUNSET AGAIN
I JUST COULD NOT FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY
BEING SO YOUNG AS YOUR FOOTSTEPS WALKED AWAY
FOOTSTEPS WERE MOVING SO MUCH CLOSER
OUR EYES MEETING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
SPARKS IGNITE INTO FIRE AND PASSION IN THE NIGHT
GRAVITY PULLED US INTO EACH OTHER'S EMPTY HEARTS
YOU TOOK MY LOVE, OUR STEPS BECAME ONE
THEN I SAW YOUR FOOTPRINTS RECEDE INTO THE SUN
FOOTSTEPS LIKE THE SEASONS HAVE COME AND GONE
MILLIONS OF SECONDS SO I PUT THEM TO A SONG
SO YOU TELL ME NOW TO GO "CRY YOUR CRY"
TO REMEMBER ALL THE TEARS THAT FELL FROM YOUR EYES
I SEE THE SCARS I ENTAILED AND THEY MAKE ME WANT TO DIE
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ME NOW AS YOU PASS BY
FOOTSTEPS IN THE CHILLING WINTER SNOW
AT THE CROSSROADS WHERE WE OFTEN GO
NOW I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY FROM DEEP INSIDE
BUT YOU CAN NOT GO THERE SO YOU TURN AWAY AND HIDE
DON'T FADE AWAY INTO THE TIDE AND THE WINDS OF YOUR WAYS
DON'T MAKE ME TURN TO ONLY MY DREAMS OF YESTERDAYS
IT IS LONELY HERE IN MY GARDEN OF SOLITUDE
SEEING THESE FOUR WALLS I DARE NOT CLIMB
IMPRISIONED BY CHAINS OF LOVE, MAKING IT HARD TO SEE
WILL YOUR FOOTSTEPS COME TO THE DOOR AND TURN THE KEY?
PROBABLY NOT, BUT I WILL WAIT AN ETERNITY
YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT EVER KNEW HOW TO HOLD ME
GOD IN HEAVEN CAN YOU RELEASE FROM THIS PAIN?
HOLY WATER FROM MY SOUL CAN YOU REMOVE THIS STAIN?
IF I HAD SPOKEN MY HEART SOONER IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME
NOW I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT WHO IS TO BLAME
BUT I CAN IMAGINE YOUR FOOTSTEPS IN THE MORNING RAIN
COMING BACK TO COMFORT ME WITH YOUR LOVING ARMS AGAIN
LEAPING FORWARD, THEN TWO STEPS BACK
SORRY I DID NOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU LACK?
HOLDING A CANDLE BURNING SO HOT AND BRIGHT
MY HEART IS A BEACON BEATING IN THE NIGHT
FILLING THE EMPTINESS WITH COMFORTING TRUE LOVE FLOWING INTO ONE
IS HOPE LOST AGAIN, SEEING YOUR FOOTSTEPS DISPPEARING INTO THE SUN?

What can I say? It's Sunday and I am moody. One week of extreme illness makes me weak and want to dig deep. By writing this poem, I can release my feelings of sadness & anxiety from my heart and soul. I can cast my burdens far away in this poem...Far away to that garden of solitude where I dwell from time to time..
