It's Been a While...How About a Poem?

I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted on my blog. A comment on my last post made me realize it. (Thanks for the reminder! :) ) I've written a couple posts but ended up keeping them as drafts as I wasn't sure I should share. Even if I don't end up posting them, I do like writing about my thoughts and feelings on various subjects. It's sort of like diary entries.
So I was considering what I wanted to post and decided I would post one of my poems, seeing I've only posted one on this blog so far. I opened my folder entitled: 116 Poems. (I actually have more then that in another folder and some in notebooks. >_<) I ended up reading most of them. It was interesting to see what my feelings were. Especially, did I find it interesting when I had put the date on the poem. Some of them were the sort of thing you might write that you think, if I die, someone can read these but before then...no.

Anyway, I picked a more light-hearted one to share. I hope you enjoy it!

Footprints Through the Forest

Fragrant breezes wisp away.
The foolish cares of the day.
Strolling leisurely through serenity.
Birds joyfully fill the air with chatter.
Skipping from Lilac to daisy..
The hours lay like pebbles
in the stream.
Carefully I chose the ones
glossy and smooth.
And skip them away.
As in childish play.
Stooping for another.
In the mud I discover.
Makings of all size and kind.
Footprints in the forest.
Intrigued I leave behind all
caution or care.
And follow so happily.
These footprints through the forest.
Aware of nothing more then
these intricate designs.
That lead the way.
The path I choose to follow.
The footprints through the forest.
