Ragtag Daily Prompt Thursday: Footprint
Artist: Tom Thompson
Born: Aug 05, 1877 · Claremont, Canada

I don’t want to leave a footprint or two
hardened in the mud by time.
I want to leave a forest full
of
poisonous plants with shiny berries and fragrant flowers
trees with skeletal limbs wrapped in pine needles and frost
packs of wolves with yellow and orange eyes
and birds that circle the sky after the Sun has died
across the river in Duat
where everyone will know my name.
Thank you! Sorry I didn’t reply sooner, your comment got caught in my Spam Que- WordPress ( growl )
Wow Anita,
I am in
the primordial chaos
knowing the Sun
will
battle to rise
I am ready
to call
your name
from a
river of fire.
Thanks for joining in with and evocative and powerful post <3
