I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Freshly fallen snow accepts my footprints.
I continue.
How long have I travelled
and where will I end up?
The path is not solitary.
In my absence the footprints will be joined
by the definite steps of others, strangers I will never meet,
but each of them will leave a mark.
As I have done.
Footprints will continue after the snow has
melted or washed away with the next rain.
Every step impermanent, but not without purpose.
We are each on a path, at times without direction.
All of us have somewhere to go
even if it is not witnessed by others.
