I Follow

 

I've been walking for miles and miles

The road is ending

An empty water hole

yearns for a child's fingers to run through its ripples

I can see imprints of those ahead

Step by step

I follow

Carved through the sand I set my feet

Where once they walked

My shoes worn

My toes blistered

There's no going back

Only memories of the past to

take on this journey

Curious about destiny

Fearful of the inevitable

Step by step

I follow
