once on life’s path trod

     passing by here one day

knowing not of lost

     fallen by the way

pathway half hidden

     overgrown by green

footprints are faded

     weathered away

half wrapped in leather

     so cracked and dry

fastener that broke

     so long ago

slowly does metal

     once shiny and bright

canker’s of rust grow

     till all passes away

memories of yesterday

     and of tomorrow’s plans

now are forgotten

     lost along the way

droplets fallen

     like bitter tears

words distorted

     like memories

cold wind tears

     at pages bleached

by hot light of sun

     in burning days

animals that burrow

     and birds in the spring

have torn at the pages

     carrying away

some days bring sunlight

     others bring storm

dust in the wind blown

     and snow buries all in white

by pathway half hidden

     now lost and fading away

plans for tomorrow

     and memories of yesterday
