I have no beach to walk on
like Lucy did
but I have as many ghosts
or perhaps more.
Still,
my feet leave invisible prints
on waves of pavement
at the edge of a concrete sea.
Regardless,
the passage of time
and the healing of hearts
follows the same course
despite disparate shores.
And the ghosts –
the companions of a solitary soul –
well,
they just
follow
footprints
only they
can see.

Thank you, slp – I’m glad it touched you. And that series of sunset photos are some of my favorites.
