This is a poem I wrote during the poetry section of Creative Writing when I was basically churning out a poem a day... I like the sound of it, despite the fact that I'm not 100% sure what it means...
Try to Remember (please don’t forget)
Feet hardened and calloused, walking
(somewhere)
stick worn smooth where the hand has grasped it while
traveling over rocky terrain.
(was it rocky? or muddy?)
An endless cycle of backdrops scrolls
past as traveling feet grow more and more heavy.
(oh for the time before weariness!)
Deep lines etched into the brow from years
of constantly narrowed eyes,
(thinking, trying to remember)
looking into the sun
and searching for something
(forgotten now what it was)
that will be recognized when found.
A journey, no end in sight,
(when was the beginning?)
following the one command still remembered.
“Go west in morning,
East in evening to keep your
Shadow behind you.”
