As they walk along the shore, <br />They begin to see, <br />To see the footprints, <br />The footprints left behind, <br />All they see is merely footprints, <br />Footprints in the sand, <br />Soon to be washed away, <br />Washed away by the ever changing tides, <br />Blown away by the winds of the up-coming storm, <br />Darkness is closing in around them, <br />They don't know how, <br />They don't know why, <br />She’s falling away, <br />Losing what used to be, <br />She’s not the same, <br />She’s changed so much, <br />It took only a couple months, <br />She’s living in a different world, <br />Away from the real world, <br />No one rushes in this other world, <br />There isn't a need, <br />They don't understand, <br />They can't pin-point what, <br />They know something’s different, <br />But she doesn't say what.<br /><br />Elizabeth Fowler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/they-re-merely-footprints-footprints-in-the-sand/
