The Message



Floating, floating through this earth
Where even gravity leaves a mark of mirth
Where footprints elevate in the sand
Where though there is no one to hold my hand
Still there is everything beside me and within me

A frowning face does turn my step
Yet it will not deter me from my path
I move around and over and beyond
I know the green, I know the frond
For there is everything beside me and within me

I might be part of gentle dust
I go barefoot through a time of trust
I see a mark that is left by me
It is on the path where I am free to be just me
For there is everything beside me and within me

K, Duane Carter  1-30-11


I wrote this for fun in response to the One Shoot Photography Challenge.  I hope you enjoy it!  Check out the other poems from this challenge at the site.  They are very good!!
