Footsteps in the Quiet

Where do the footsteps go
When the grass hums softly
Beneath the weight of the sun?
They wander into echoes
Woven from silence,
Threads of mist and morning dew.

A path traced by questions
Unasked yet lingering
Like shadows dancing
Along the edges of light,
Transforming the ordinary
Into a canvas of rippling thoughts.

In the margins of time,
Scribbled notes from the stars,
Contemplating the gentle
Leaving and arriving
Of each footfall's tender touch
On the earth's listening heart.
