my footsteps
tell the tale
of where I have been
but not
where I am going
as I stand still
with the sea at my feet
a bookmark is formed
resting in place
from a journey
gone by
time to take a moment
to breathe in
the salty air
and curl my toes
in the wet sand
a time to rejuvenate
more steps ahead
uncertain where each
will take me
but these are my footsteps
my journey
one that stretches endlessly
along the water's edge
