The Trail


Walk now before the
grass wakes up to greet your feet,
disguises your trail

Walk now while you can
still see your footprints pressed to
the soft, pliant ground

Walk now before the
sun dries up all the tears on
your sad freckled face

Walk now while you can
still hear clouds pass above and
cry for bare branches

  1. What a great opening line ... and the continuation of the "walk now" really is effective.
