Sand Castles and Footsteps



Every footstep holds a story
And adds to the journey
Some are heavy with guilt, worry and frustrations
Others with hope

Some were stepped
Gun to head
The indents cry
"Help, we were not meant to be taken!"

Some barely leave a footprint at all
Taken by running shoes
And flying feet
Eager steps that want to get there soon

But the footsteps don't tell you that
There...
That place
Is determined by the guns
Standing on guard
Waiting to knock you down

That place
Is created 
By words
That make you falter
The stem of the storms in your eyes

The indents 
Do not tell you
Disaster is inevitable
And that if you find yourself
Sinking in the sand
You must build yourself
A castle

And you wish they did
