Footprints

 

Plant your heart

in that one lone field,

for love grows

from a single seed,

and in a world full

of buildings

become the tree.

Grow uniquely,

don’t just be built

in carbon copy mimicry.

Listen to the voice

that speaks, saying

stay don’t leave, and when you feel

inadequacy, remember

that one single seed

became you.

And our footprints

are gigantic.

 

Take in all the positives,

breathe out negativity,

and don’t drink the ill

nor poison the well.

Become something else.

Something better.

For when the weather

is getting you down

the only direction left is up, right?

 

And whether you follow

the path of enlightened minds

or the maze of the blind,

when you close the shutters

on the negative side,

only hope is left

where you reside.

So, pour some rays of sunshine

into that already beaming

soul and show the whole truth

the good, the bad, the parts in-between.

For when it’s played out in line,

your life is a miracle, and we may walk

alone on some of the ride,

but keep taking big strides

as our footprints are gigantic.
