Life

exact footprints in the sand,

All in one direction; coming and going

Always in their own frame of time

some alone and independent

while others are with company

some may back track a time or two

trying to find their own way in life

and soon shall

but all are leading to the same place

tranquility

and coming from the same place

chaos

We all are going somewhere

it all just takes time

some people walk faster than others

taking longer strides

their footprint set further apart

while other may need a helping hand

someone to lean on

an extra print or two

none knowing when the footprint will end

just knowing they will

not wanting to know when

I have had my chaos

when shall i receive my tranquility?
