Trail-Blazer

I walk
trampling down
the grass, on
a wet dewy
morning.

My sneakers
are soaked
and squishy
with cold water.
I look back
at the trail
I’ve left.
My foot prints
distinctly mark
where I have
passed.

The trodden grass
will recover, and
the dew soon
evaporate in
the hot sun of
a summer day.

When these tracks dry to sight,
will they remain-
anywhere?

If I were to go on a journey where
no one has ever been,
and no one follows behind me-
am I still a trail-blazer?

Invisible
I know there is
another set of
footprints besides mine.

He who has led me here
has blazed a trail in my heart-
it is enough.
