These Footsteps Are Not Mine

in poetry •  8 years ago 

Footsteps I follow in the sand,
Not knowing where they go,
A risk in life that I must try,
If not taken I'll never know.

For miles they've been ahead of me,
With each new one I do take,
Curiosity is all that drives me,
Find the end for my own sake.

Awaiting at the very last step,
Is an unknown prize which I seek,
A simple answer to this quest,
One I feel to not be meek.

Wherever it is they do go,
May be somewhere I never find,
But one thing I know for sure,
Is that these footsteps are not mine.
