Every Leaf. Every Footprint.


Leaves litter the path like footprints.
Footprints litter the path like leaves.

Both are relics of recent history,
reminders of what was and is no more.

Every season casts its own residue.
Every traveler continues down the road.

Yet, every leaf and every footprint
contains a universe of meaning.

Embarkation

What leaves no footprints
In the sand? The wind, of course,
So we sail away.
