Under changing skies


Under changing skies

Under changing skies I wait
and wonder while I wander.
Preferring to walk and think
rather than sit and wait,
let the world pass by,
friendships come and go,
I score a path behind me
human snail in the trails I leave
upon the hearts and lives
of people new and old.
Hoping trails leave a helpful
imprint in the minds of those
who stumble across them
and whose lives have been left changed.
What will they remember
when I'm gone?
The ever-changing sky of life,
a character reduced to simple words
faint memories etched in time,
or something greater, more profound
which sears the soul
and leaves burning tracks
through mental pathways
seemingly dead?
Under changing skies I wait
to see your face,
and feel my soul on fire.
