Footsteps
Footsteps on the veranda
Footsteps on the pavement
Footsteps to the end of the road
Walking towards your dream
you couldn't let go
Your fairytale dreams
follow them with your feet
Searching through unmarked boxes
In painted scenes
for your diamond dreams
Footsteps through the courtyard
Footsteps down the marble stairs
will you wait for me there?
Tell me if your going to leave
Send me a perfume scented postcard
with pictures of your dreams
Follow in your footsteps
walk with your alter ego
where does it go?
Write me if you go
Do you have far to go?
Footsteps to your boarding plane
the crowds don't know your name
a final kiss on the lips
settle in your seat
my sweet
Enjoy the airline treats
Footsteps on the foreign terrain
Do you expect to return again
I'll walk where your footsteps have been
imprinted on painted scenes
Where have your footsteps been?

Hi Richard an interseting concept and a lovely (but sad) poem that leaves an air of mystery at the end, great stuff Jeff
