I Followed The Foot Prints Poem by Aftab Alam

I Followed The Foot Prints

Rating: 5.0


I followed the foot prints,
Through forest it ran
Whole day it took
Found no end

When sun slept on the lap of dark night
I couldn't see the footsteps any more
Awake I was under the gigantic tree
Waited and sung a melodious song

Sun came shyly and laughed
Again followed the foot print
Again night came and arrested my search
It took seven days to reach the end
A deep valley ahead, no land for trace

A sound heard from above somewhere
Unseen face shouted
Willing to get suicide
Said I no, no
Who went by this way and where?
Humanity jumped and died
What you call, a suicide
And beyond the end
Death Valley starts

Again I started back move
No trace of foot print was seen
Million’s years passed
Lost the path
Now I am a vagabond
Beast all around
I hid in a mound
I hid in a mound
