Description
Footsteps echo down the hallspectres of a lifetime past.
Neither here nor there at all
each one loud as thunder claps.
Sometimes in this life it seems
we turn our ears toward shadow's songs.
Reality is blurred to dreams
with foosteps marching ever on.
All the lives that we all live
be they fake or so sincere.
Rich or poor, take or give
a common thread in all appear.
Lessons learned from heroes past
thoughts of lives that never were.
As we walk our lifetime's path
footsteps echoes fill our world.
Every choice will add another
some in rythm some offbeat.
Father, mother, sister and brother
echoes march in unseen feet.
Years fly past and memories jumble
Like snapshots of a lifetime lost.
To the ground they fall and tumble
and slowly footsteps slow then stop.
Forced to make my own decisions
all the footsteps silent now.
Close my eyes and trust the wisdom
they've instilled so long ago.
Near the hallway's end I stand
scared to take the final step.
But I hear the Silent Echoes call
and choose the path of no regrets.

I suppose I should explain this a little. What I was going for was to show how when we start life we are completely ignorant of the world around us but as we grow older we draw on the wisdom from others (the footsteps so to speak). We start with one set of footsteps (us) and as life goes along we find ourselves thrust into positions where we must listen to the "footsteps" so to speak and make our own decision. One to start, one to end. Such is life.....
