Leaving Footprints Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Torrential downpours caving in upon this deserted island
of a being, taking away vestiges of serenity, replacing
them with a facetious sort of aplomb.

Faltering into patterns of another time, purposely holding
back the fortitude of life just to see what will happen,
following and leaving footprints in sands of tomorrow.

Voices whispering into the twilight, leaving palms of hands
in darkness and away from the sunlight of another day.
