My feet march,
Forever treading
Unknown paths.
They will only
Stop at the very end.
The days will pass
Whether I will it
Or not;
I can never go back
To begin again,
As much as I
Desperately wish
It were so.
Thats a piece of the human heart! How we all wish to go back and start again, how we all know that will never be possible. I like your take very much :)

ReplyDeleteIt's because your heart is larger than your feet.
ReplyDeleteI like how you played off the prompt, T.
So true... Nicely written!
ReplyDeleteThese are the lines that got me: "The days will pass/Whether I will it/Or not;" I love your title!
ReplyDeleteYup, gotta keep on keepin on. Love your attitude, Tina!
ReplyDelete"My feet march,
ReplyDeleteForever treading
Unknown paths."
I love that. Such a strong opening!
For some reason, I found this sadder than maybe I should have, yet also doggedly hopeful. That's a pretty complex collection of emotions for 42 words!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, we can only go forward from where we are. The title is really really good!
ReplyDeleteThis really strikes a chord with me. I love the last line.
ReplyDeleteThe haunting tragedy of the past that can never be re-lived. Love the mood here!
ReplyDeleteyes, I think we all wish for fresh starts in life!
ReplyDeleteYep. I'm kinda there right now... Definitely resonates for me, TMW.
