Echoed Footsteps



Echoed footsteps pound on pavement

concrete sounds 

rebound

from brick walls

life incomplete

as he walks

a sad look on age sculptured face

pained legs, a dead weight

But he can’t stop

time is catching up

 

Graffiti and brick all his eyes can see

blur through the rain

his aching feet, full of pain

trace an uphill race

as rivers of time rush free

flowing downhill towards his face

He cannot stop

or he will drop

 

Tired and weary

eyes bleary

from the soaking rain

legs strained, bleeding feet

blood stained cobblestoned streets

But he can’t slow the pace

or he will feel times cold embrace

 

Bells ring, high above him

cathedral tower

marks the hour

when he finally stalls

his feet cut to shreds

his body wrecked

he hits the deck

and the rains

continue to fall

 

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

 Kyle.
