FOOTPRINTS

Footprints are walked memories;

molded cerebral impressions

of traced tracks—telling

tinted stories of freedom’s journeys;

like running rivers between banks

leaving trailing residues of liberation.

Remembered footprints

tell tall towering tales

of those who’ve passed this way.

May the Most High

let mine tell tall tales

 of the jubilee journey jogged

as I passed this way.

And may my marvelous ones walk

proudly in the depths of my footprints.
