Footprints In The Sand
See the footprints in the sand.
Here is something I don’t understand.
The footprints head way out there.
Then, they end up going nowhere?
They just suddenly disappear.
To me that seems really queer.
Were they abducted by a UFO?
The prints go nowhere with nowhere to go.
Did the sand open up and swallow them up?
Did they step through a portal or fall in a rut?
For some reason they just disappear.
Why would these tracks end right here?
There is nothing around from what I can see.
This is truly a mystery to me.
Was he like Elijah or Enoch, caught up to heaven?
Maybe he became some alien’s leaven?
There are no tracks to show a thing.
No sign of a scuffle or anything.
Did he step into another dimension?
If so, I had better pay attention.
I don’t want to fall down the some rabbit hole.
Where Alice in Wonderland wouldn’t go.
Simply gone, like so many other people & things.
Life is not so simple as it seems.
All I can say is: Keep picking them up & laying them down.
Keep making tracks all around.
Then, by chance, if you should disappear.
Leave tracks that are very clear.
Maybe then, you might be found.
Not like these footprints, where ever they are bound.
