Footsteps
familiar paths to cover
the hardest of them all
they cross the unknown
which is the bravest route
take care upon this journey
upon darkened grains
by oceans black
when you weep alone
I hear you
your hands cannot wipe clear
this fog that will not lift
this is the view
of the world in which you live
I try to keep the candles alight
hoping to guide the way
but you always extinguish them
and even with my tears
…..you think you’ll burn
