From this shore of perennial fickleness
what travelers departed in this manner, by
leaving footsteps in the sand?
Did the travelers go of their own accord
or were they summoned by someone
or directed along that invisible path?
Where did they venture
uprooting themselves, from
a place where they stood so firm?
why did they embark
stirring awake these slumbered questions?
Why do travelers depart as they do
leaving an incomplete tale of footprints in the sand?
