Footprints of Destiny #149

Following  footprints left on the shore
First two prints then four
That seemed to travel forevermore
Stopping here and there for conversation
Kissing and holding hands as lovers do
So it seemed in my imagination
But who am I to esteem the role of prints
With such clues and hints
And nothing more to resolve what's hence
But to follow on their steady trajectory
On distant shores of space and time
That might inspire a lore or rhyme
Or some deep discretionary truth
Some ageless wonder filled with youth
And yet I am not one to propagate
Some belief that is not based on facts
But only footprints bare the selfless acts
Of two lovers engaged so it seemed
In a romantic interlude of love redeemed
And so I dreamed
And so I dreamed
While tracing images with pen in hand
Of two hearts inter-linked drawn in the sand
Where footprints merged with bended knees
And rolled in unison into the seas
Of yesteryear and adolescent days
Like a foggy mist or a scattered haze
But still my journey continued on must be
Now looking back at the prints I see
fading in the past the footprints of me.
