Footprints In The Snow Poem by Eric Cockrell

Footprints In The Snow

Rating: 3.5


footprints in the snow.
tiny unnamed orphan lifetimes
that melt without a sound
and are lost forever.

candlewax melted to the formless,
mountains worn down over a millennia...
the faces of wrinkled old men
and newborn babies, one and the same.

the fleeting dance of a butterfly,
a river singing across centuries.
70 years,50 years,20 years, ...
or maybe just tonite!

coming back over and over again,
or dissolving like ash into the wind.
a dropp of rain, or the surge of an ocean,
stone stacked upon stone, or thistle?

footprints in the snow...
